Gems and Jewelry is a multi-billion dollar industry with stake holders spread across different nations on all continents of the world. Strangely though, percentage of people involved in this industry, who could be considered even somewhat ‘educated’ in this vast and varied field is dismally low. This anomaly is all the more applicable in our own country, which has a rich tradition in diamonds, gemstones, pearls and gold and silver jewelry. With technological advancements in the field of material science, today’s market is filled with diamonds, gemstones, and pearls which have been subjected to different kinds of treatments. Not only that, there are synthetics galore! Need for professional education and reliable laboratory service in the industry is now more than ever.
