A six-day immersion in Feicui — from cultural foundations and treatment recognition to quality evaluation, market literacy, and on-site trade visits. Whether you work in the trade or simply love jade, you will leave with a clearer eye of your own.
Build a clear, practical understanding of Feicui — useful whether you are a jewellery professional or an enthusiast.
This course welcomes gemologists, dealers, collectors, jewellery professionals, and jewellery enthusiasts alike. Across six days you will explore jade culture and Feicui fundamentals, learn to recognise natural versus treated material, evaluate quality through colour, texture, transparency, craftsmanship and clarity, and gain a grounded sense of origins and trade markets — finishing with a local jade market field trip. Each learner brings a different background; each leaves with a deeper, personal understanding of Feicui.
A carefully paced journey from foundations to market practice — each day builds a distinct professional capability.

No. Prior gemology knowledge is helpful but not required. The course is designed so beginners can follow the foundations, while those already in the trade can deepen their judgement through specimens, discussion, and market practice.
The course shares the same professional language used on GUILD Feicui reports — colour, texture, transparency, craftsmanship, and treatment concepts — so you can read certificates and market descriptions with greater confidence.
Sessions are offered in major cities such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Shanghai. Day 6 includes a local market field trip at the host location. Check the schedule for upcoming dates.
