Diamond Grading

Master the 4Cs

Cut, color, clarity, carat — and origin, treatment, and lab-grown identification. IIG America diamond courses put you behind the loupe with hundreds of stones.

De Beers-anchored curriculum

Our diamond courses are shaped by a long-running delivery partnership with the De Beers Institute of Diamonds.

Lab-standard grading practice

Students grade hundreds of stones to international lab specifications before graduation — not a token dozen.

Lab-grown ready

As lab-grown diamonds reshape the US market, our curriculum keeps pace with screening, identification, and disclosure workflows.
