Elie-Anne Caya, a student at Montreal’s School of Gemmology (EGM), has been awarded the Christie’s Prize for Gemmology.
It’s the third time in the school’s history that a student has received the honour.
“It has been 15 years since EGM started offering preparatory classes for the Gem-A exams,” said EGM president and founder, Odile Civitello. “We have had students come here from around the world, and each year our students’ results are amongst the best.”
This award is given annually to the top candidates of the year for the gemmology diploma.
Keith Penton, director of Christie’s, presented Caya with the award at the annual Gem-A graduation ceremony held at the Goldsmith’s Hall in London. Her prize includes £500 worth of gemmological instruments.
