COLORED GEMSTONE COURSE
This PGS Laboratory gemstone ID course is designed to expose
jewelry professionals to some of the important trends affecting
the gemstone market today. Using sample stones we demonstrate
how to accurately identify treatments and enhancements in the big
three: ruby, emerald and sapphire. The course focuses on the visual
means of detecting some commonly encountered geographic
origins using inexpensive tools such as the Chelsea filter and
LW-SW ultraviolet light. Sample stones demonstrating various
quality ranges will also be available to view. The course is an
abbreviated version of a two-week program that the lab offers
periodically in Chicago. All participants will receive a certificate
of achievement following completion of the course.
Enquire with Polygon for more details.
