PROMOTING EXCELLENCE IN GEMMOLOGICAL TRAINING
PROMOTING EXCELLENCE IN GEMMOLOGICAL TRAINING
FEEG was legally registered in the Netherlands on 29th August 1996, although the seeds for the Federation were sown in September 1990 at a conference held in Paris to consider the future of gemmological education in Europe. Federation members include associations and institutions in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom.
The first FEEG examinations were held in October 1996. They are now held twice a year in July and October in 6 different languages.
The main purpose of FEEG is to facilitate and encourage the mutual exchange of information and technical assistance, to organise examinations leading to a common European qualification in gemmology (European Gemmologist) and to promote partnerships and economic, social and cultural exchanges between respective members.

The FEEG Diploma
The FEEG Diploma represents the toughest test for any gemmologist working in the industry today. Built from the collective knowledge of Europe’s top gemmological training centres, it challenges trained gemmologists’ theoretical and practical knowledge of over 100 stones, from the everyday gems to the lesser known minerals. Unlike other Diplomas, the FEEG expects students to work through a tough syllabus and a rigorous programme of training and research to fulfil the criteria needed to pass the final exam. As one of the most demanding examinations of a gemmologist’s aptitude, the FEEG Diploma is an ideal way to further your professional development and prove yourself as one of the best European talents.
