Students visited the renowned KGK Jewelry Manufacturing Factory. They mastered the art of achieving flawless finishes, refined their gemstone setting skills, and expertly set green stones into bracelets with invaluable practical experience and insights into the jewelry manufacturing industry.

J K Diamonds Institute’s student also met Somchai Phornchindarak, President of the Thai Gem & Jewelry Traders Association, along with Hemant Jain and Dipak Shahthanawuth, Vice Presidents of the Thai Gem & Jewelry Traders Association. Our very own expert, Jaynil Ajmera, was also part of this convocation ceremony.  

In the row, students visited the Chanthaburi Museum and Mine as well as they also visited Chanthaburi Market, known for its vast array of gemstones as well.  

The Bottom line of the study tour said, throughout the tour, the students of J K Diamonds Institute of Gems & Jewelry not only gained practical knowledge but also built a strong international network, fostering relationships that would be invaluable for their future business prospects or careers. The interactive sessions with industry leaders were particularly memorable, providing a platform for students to learn, connect, and envision their future in the gemology industry. This study tour highlighted J K Diamonds Institute’s commitment to providing its students with unparalleled practical learning experiences, blending classroom knowledge with real-world industry exposure.
