WHAT IS A GEMOLOGIST?

Gemology is the study of gemstones, making a gemologist one who identifies, grades, and appraises gemstones, such as diamonds, sapphires and rubies. To achieve the title of Gemologist requires special education and training, which hones a wealth of knowledge and experience that customers can then benefit from. Whether it’s grading cut, colour and clarity, appraising family heirlooms, or determining whether a stone is natural or synthetic, a gemologist is an expert needed to ascertain these details.
