At JK Diamonds Institute of Gems & Jewelry, we believe that learning doesn’t end in the classroom—it begins there. Our strong commitment to 100% practical education is what sets us apart. While theory builds your foundation, it’s real-world exposure that shapes your future in the jewelry industry.
Throughout the year, we organize immersive study tours designed to bridge the gap between knowledge and application. These aren’t just trips—they’re transformative experiences that give students a firsthand understanding of how the jewelry industry truly functions.
From witnessing the hustle of gemstone markets to engaging with artisans and machinery operators, these tours offer a unique learning opportunity that books and videos simply can’t replicate.
What Are Jewelry Study Tours?
Jewelry study tours are immersive learning experiences that transport students to the heart of jewelry-making hubs. From bustling gemstone markets to high-tech cutting and polishing factories, these tours provide students with direct exposure to how the industry functions in the real world. At JK Diamonds Institute, study tours are seamlessly integrated into our curriculum.
For example, our Jaipur Study Tour gave students a deep dive into the iconic local gemstone market, where they learned to bargain smartly and spot authentic gems. A highlight of this tour was visiting the Amrapali Museum, a treasure trove for jewelry lovers. Students also discovered the traditional art of gem carving and witnessed the intricacies of cutting and polishing firsthand.
In Surat, our students visited industry giants like Lexus, Hari Krishna Exports, and Jaykar Group, where they gained insider knowledge of diamond cutting, laser technology, manpower management, and saw the scale at which the diamond trade operates.
Exposure to Global Jewelry Markets
JK Diamonds Institute takes learning global—offering students a rare window into international gem and jewelry hubs.
In Thailand, students explored advanced heat treatment techniques using oil, glass, and electric furnaces, visited factories and trade offices, and even stepped into the Bang Kaja Mines to witness mining firsthand.
In Tanzania and Zambia, the journey continued with a visit to the Dar es Salaam market, where students explored a dazzling variety of gemstones. At the Tanzanite mines, they got hands-on exposure to the mining process and discovered traditional techniques like stone cooking—a cultural method of heat treatment still used in local practices.
These global tours offer a powerful mix of learning, cultural insight, and real-world exposure.
Hands-On Experience with Gemstones and Diamonds
Seeing is learning—but doing is transforming.
Our tours are designed to give students hands-on experiences in grading diamonds and colored stones. They interact with artisans, suppliers, and technicians, witnessing cutting, polishing, and setting processes up close. Students are encouraged to ask questions and get involved in real-time discussions with field experts.
Networking with Industry Professionals
Through exhibitions like IIJS and visits to JJS, students interact with exporters, designers, manufacturers, and traders. These interactions aren’t just inspiring—they’re gateways to careers. JK encourages students to ask bold questions, pitch their ideas, and start building a network that will support their future ventures.
Take the story of Sonal Lakhera, a proud JK student who won an award during JJS—proof of what confidence and real exposure can achieve. Many of our budding entrepreneurs also participate by setting up their own stalls, motivating their peers and building real business experience.
Enhancing Design and Creativity Skills
Every tour is a creative spark waiting to ignite.
Whether it’s witnessing the intricate beauty of Thewa and Meenakari art, or sketching on the spot in the serene Vrindavan Forest, students are constantly inspired to think beyond the ordinary.
These moments push boundaries—encouraging students to blend culture, tradition, and imagination into their designs. From festive-themed creations to nature-inspired sketches, every experience becomes a muse, helping students unlock fresh ideas and elevate their creative thinking.
Building Confidence and Industry Readiness
At JK Diamonds Institute, confidence isn’t just taught—it’s cultivated through immersive experiences that push students beyond the ordinary.
Students are encouraged to explore design inspirations rooted in cultural themes—like Rajputana and Mughal jewelry—translating their research into compelling presentations. This process doesn’t just refine their design thought; it sharpens how they communicate ideas with clarity and conviction.
Through collaborative round table discussions, real-world case studies, and pricing exercises that factor in weight, technique, and design detail—students begin thinking like entrepreneurs, not just designers.
And to keep them in tune with the evolving landscape, exclusive expert-led trend sessions give them insider access to market shifts, upcoming gemstone innovations, and what’s next in the world of luxury.
