The Institut National de Gemmologie (ING) is a private institution specializing in gemology and jewelry education. Founded in 1967, it operates independently and is not affiliated with the French public university system. ING offers professional training programs, certifications, and research opportunities in gemology, focusing on practical skills and industry standards.
While it collaborates with industry partners and follows national educational guidelines, its funding and governance are private. Students typically pay tuition fees, and the institute maintains a strong reputation in the gemology sector, particularly for its expertise in diamond grading and precious stone identification.
