Certificate in Jewellery Entrepreneurial Course

What Is the Jewellery Entrepreneurial Course?

India’s gems and jewellery industry contributes approximately 7% to the nation’s GDP and is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the country. Yet, many talented individuals lack the business knowledge to turn their passion for jewellery into a profitable venture.

GJA’s Certificate in Jewellery Entrepreneurial Course bridges that gap. This specialised, industry-aligned programme is designed exclusively for aspiring jewellery business owners — teaching you everything from jewellery costing and pricing to retail management, marketing, and legal compliance.

Whether you want to open a boutique, launch an online jewellery brand, manage a family jewellery shop, or start a home-based business, this course gives you the practical skills and business confidence to succeed from day one.

Our curriculum is built around the real-world demands of India’s jewellery trade. Here is what you will master:

Jewellery Costing and Pricing
Master the art of pricing jewellery profitably. Learn how to calculate the cost of gold, diamond, and kundan jewellery — including material costs, making charges, wastage, and profit margins — so that every piece you sell contributes to a healthy bottom line. You will also learn how to set competitive yet profitable prices in both retail and wholesale markets.

Jewellery Business Setup and Operations

Understand how to set up a jewellery business in India from scratch.

You will leave with a practical roadmap to launch your own jewellery enterprise.

Retail and Wholesale Management

Marketing Your Jewellery Brand

Discover how to build and promote your jewellery brand in a competitive market. Learn the basics of digital marketing for jewellery businesses, social media promotion on Instagram and Facebook, jewellery product photography tips, and how to build an online presence that attracts customers and drives sales.

Legal, Hallmarking & Compliance

Understand the regulatory landscape of India’s jewellery industry. This module covers BIS hallmarking requirements for gold and silver jewellery, GST applicability on jewellery sales, import-export compliance basics, and your obligations under consumer protection laws — so you can run your business with full legal confidence.

Industry Demand for Jewellery Entrepreneurs

India’s gems and jewellery industry is one of the largest in the world — and it is growing fast.

It currently employs more than 4.64 million workers, with projections pointing to even greater expansion in the years ahead.
