GIVING BACK TO AFRICA, ONE DIAMOND AT A TIME



 
The apprentice program, developed by Sivana Diamonds, is a unique initiative which focuses on skills and design training. This program trains a number of students annually with the aim to create a new generation of master craftsmen.


Masters in the jewellery trade work closely with our students, shaping their raw talent into true brilliance. This training can take between 2 – 5 years, and thus demands long-term commitment in both the art of craftsmanship and the future of the student.


Our program has specific modules, whereby the trainees are taught, assessed and guided in the world of jewellery making. Such elements are multi-faceted and thus offer students an opportunity to learn various segments of our business which include:  

 

  • The Art of Design
  • CAD and CAM technology
  • How to craft handmade pieces
  • Evaluation of materials (including metals, gemstones and diamond grading)
  • Sales and Marketing
  • Business Skills

 

Our goal is to offer learners the skills they need to develop their abilities, as well as the business knowledge they need to become entrepreneurs in the jewellery industry.

 

It helps to change the lives of South African youngsters and caters to individuals with hungry minds who are eager to launch their careers.

 

In the real spirit of transformation, impacting the future of South Africans and the lives that will follow - This collaboration thrills us tremendously and fills us with great pride as we help to ensure that South African jewellery talent is recognized globally.
