New diamond polishing and retail group, Stargems, has graduated the first students from its training centre, with 72 citizens undergoing the programme recently.

Stargems has a strong global presence in the rough diamond, polishing, and jewellery market, with offices in Antwerp, Mumbai, Dubai, and Hong Kong. Its diamond manufacturing factories are located in Johannesburg and Angola, and the Gaborone facility became operational last December.

At its official launch in February, the company had already employed 117 Batswana, with plans to employ up to 250 by the end of the year, partly through recruiting the top students from its training programme. The Stargems Diamond Training Centre provides trainees with knowledge and skills in various areas of diamond manufacturing, including rough diamond sorting, quality grading, and polishing.
