The Guild examines.
The register proves.
Credentials for the people of the jewellery trade — bench jewellers, gemmologists, valuers, counter staff, compliance officers. Examined against an open syllabus. Verified by anyone, in seconds, for free.
Why a guild, now
The trade has institutions. Its people had none.
The examining body
Trade associations represent firms. Schools sell courses. The Guild does neither. It examines people against a published syllabus and stands behind the result — nothing more, and nothing less.
The public register
Every credential carries a number. Anyone — employer, insurer, inspector, customer — can check it on this site in seconds. A lapsed credential is marked lapsed, never quietly removed. The register is the product.
The council
Governed by the trade itself. Permanent seats for the SJA and the Diamond Exchange of Singapore, a seat for education, and seats for the majors, the dealers, the independents and the bespoke ateliers.
The beachhead
The AML duty is personal now.
Since April 2026, the PSPM Code of Practice makes anti-money-laundering training an inspector-checked, per-person duty. The buyer of proof is the employer — and the proof must survive an inspection.
Learn free from MinLaw's own materials. Sit the Guild's AML-Aware examination for S$19. When you pass, your name is on the register with a number an inspector can check.
The inspector's evidence pack
Trade members buy exam seats in bulk, assign them to staff, and print one as-at-today report of every credential — status, number, verification date. Hand it across the desk in thirty seconds.

The trade
A directory people can trust.
