The fourth episode of Rapaport’s GEMTalks series will feature a discussion on color origin in natural and lab-grown diamonds with special guest Tom Moses of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
Moses, executive vice president and chief laboratory and research officer at the GIA, will speak with Rapaport’s Leah Meirovich about what causes various hues in fancy-color diamonds, the differences in detecting their sources in natural and lab-grown, and the unique challenges that go into determining origin. Sponsored by GIA, the LinkedIn Live session will help shed light on how these precious gems come to be.
The expert will also touch on how to spot color-altering treatments and speak on how the institute’s many years of extensive research have enabled it to pinpoint color origin precisely, and when it saw the first fancy-color lab-grown diamonds.
This episode of the GEMTalks Linkedin Live is brought to you by GIA — The Gemological Institute of America — protecting consumers and supporting the global gem and jewelry trade since 1931 through research, education, and laboratory services.
“Causes of Color: Determining Color Origins in Natural and Lab-Grown Diamonds” will take place on Tuesday, June 25, at 10 a.m. EDT. Register for the event by clicking here.
