GJPAGuild of Jewellery Professionals & Artisans
GJPA is Singapore's professional home for the people of the jewellery trade — designers, artisans, gemmologists, sales professionals and the sole-proprietor nation between them. Founded 2004. Registered 2007. Reawakened 2026, with credentials the public can check in seconds.
Conceived in 2004 by jeweller-gemmologist Tanja M. Sadow (G.J.G., GIA '83), endorsed by Swarovski in 2005, registered with the Registry of Societies in 2007 — and now returned for a trade that needs its people certified, connected and counted.
Guild credentials are hiring infrastructure: every designation is a role, a syllabus, an assessment and a register entry. Pick the job you're hiring for — the Guild tells you the badge to ask for. All credentials are earned by assessment, kept by continuing education, and valid while membership stands. Every stage, format and price on one page — the full credential ladder →
Precious-stone and metal dealers in Singapore are regulated under the PSPM Act — registered per outlet, with customer due diligence, cash-transaction reporting and an explicit statutory duty to keep staff trained. The 2026 Code of Practice targets jewellery and watch retailers precisely. MinLaw's free toolkit tells you what to do; the Guild's AML Passport trains the people who must do it — counter staff, managers, and the compliance officer every multi-outlet dealer must appoint.
Open the Compliance HubMembership opens with the Founding Hundred — a one-time charter class whose names head the revival register, locked for life. Assessments are priced separately and always will be.
The guilds and associations of Singapore's trade each serve a different constituent. GJPA doesn't compete with any of them — it is the people layer the others structurally cannot be, and the pre-bourse, pre-employment home that grows their future members.
Singapore Jewellers Association — the shops, chains & wholesalers. CaseTrust-SJA accreditation; SIJE co-organiser.
Diamond Exchange of Singapore — WFDB bourse for experienced individual traders; host of the 2026 World Diamond Congress.
Singapore Fashion Council — brand-building, incubation and runways for the fashion ecosystem, jewellery included.
The people: students, artisans, sales floors, managers, gemmologists, sole-proprietors — standards, certification, register, CPD.
