Understanding the Diamond Industry: A Beginner's Guide

Question
Dear Howard,

My name is Gilad and I'm an Israeli \ Australian citizen which at
the last 4 months live in Israel.

As from your profile I figured that you might have great
knowledge in Diamonds and the Diamonds industry.
I personally don't have any experience in the area and would
love to gain more knowledge of how the industry work and the
opportunities to indulge in it.

I would greatly appreciate If you could tell me, as a professional
-  What will be the best way to start and develop a serious career
in the industry ?

thank you for your time,


sincerely,

Gilad  

Answer
dear gilad,
the best way to become acquainted with the industry would be to purchase a book titled "jewelry concepts and technology"
written by oppi ontrecht.im sure you will find it to be a
wealth of information. perhaps you can find it in your library
or track it down via computer.
