Background

About Naved Solanki

Experienced professional in the gems and jewellery industry with over 3 years of expertise in diamond grading, quality control, and operations management. Currently a Senior Grader at HRD Antwerp, I specialize in the precise assessment and quality assurance of diamonds, including advanced fluorescence grading, ensuring every stone meets the highest international standards. My background includes significant roles at HRD Antwerp and GIA (Gemological Institute of America), where I finalized and approved diamonds for certification, contributed to leadership initiatives, and streamlined operational processes. I am skilled in the 4Cs of diamond grading, gemological instruments, market value assessment, and team leadership. With an MBA in Business Analytics and a commerce background, I excel at combining technical gemological knowledge with analytical and managerial skills. I have a proven track record of improving turnaround times, optimizing workflows, and fostering team collaboration through strong communication and emotional intelligence. I am seeking senior roles in Finance or the Gems & Jewellery sector—ideally as a Manager, Team Leader, or Operations Manager in Mumbai or Dubai—where I can leverage my expertise to drive operational excellence and support business growth.
