Rapaport’s New Series, GemTalks, Kicks Off with Conversation on Undisclosed Synthetics

In the first installment of our new educational LinkedIn Lives, where we host industry experts to tackle the hottest topics, Rapaport will look at screening and verification for diamonds and diamond jewelry.  

This initial GemTalks will feature Avi Levy and Steve Rees — respectively the president and laboratory director of the International Gemological Institute (IGI), which is sponsoring the session. They’ll speak with Rapaport Senior Analyst Joshua Freedman about the importance of screening as a way to protect one’s business reputation.  

With stories abounding of fraud and harmful misinformation, raising awareness of the need for screening and verifying all stones has never been more pressing. This LinkedIn Live GemTalks will give participants the chance to ask the guests questions on the topic and better understand one of the biggest threats to natural goods’ salability.  
 
The first GemTalks LinkedIn Live, “How Not Screening Diamonds is Exposing You to Risk,” will take place on Wednesday, February 28, at 10 a.m. EST. Be sure to register for this event – click here.
