Campus Overview
GIA’s New York campus is a state-of-the-art facility in the International Gem Tower, right in the heart of the famed Diamond District. The campus is metres away from thousands of businesses devoted to jewellery. New York is also the gateway to the world’s largest consumer diamond market, and the vast majority of diamonds entering the United States pass through it. Jewellery is New York’s third largest industry. And GIA is in the middle of it all.
New York is a unique city. It’s one of the world's media, financial, entertainment and fashion capitals. It’s home to iconic landmarks like Wall Street and the Statue of Liberty, and to edgy artist enclaves like the East Village. And it’s where thousands come with dreams of success. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find the best of it in New York, and the endless opportunities that come from being at the cross-roads of culture and commerce.
