The world of gemmology
Introduction to gemmology
Buying a gem goes far beyond simply choosing a color. Depending on the type of jewel and setting, several crucial parameters come into play: will your gem hold up well enough to be set in a ring, or would it be better suited to a pendant? These questions, as well as light sensitivity and the impact of inclusions on durability, will be explored in depth. This first part of the course will equip you with the knowledge you need to decipher the complex language of gemology. We'll guide you through the subtleties, giving you the essential reflexes to make informed selections.
