Biography
I’m Priyam Puri, a 24-year-old gemmologist and entrepreneur from India. My interest in the world of gems and jewellery started at a young age, which is why I became a part of my dad’s business of diamonds and gemstones. However, I was also interested in the science behind it and had an urge to learn more about it. This led me to enrolled myself in various courses and I completed my diamond grading from HRD Antwerp in 2020.
In 2023, I completed my graduate gemmology program from GIA, where I gained valuable knowledge and skills in evaluating and grading precious stones.
After completing my education, I worked as a gemmologist at IGI-GTL India, where I gained hands-on experience in advanced testing using FT-IR Spectrometer and UV-Vis-NIR Spectrophotometer, Diamond testing for natural and lab-grown. My passion for the industry lies in research and advanced testing, and I am committed to taking my family’s business of trading in diamonds and coloured stones to an international level.

I am excited about the future of our business and look forward to expanding our reach in the global market.
I believe that continuous learning and exploration are essential to personal as well as professional growth and your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
