Content Consummate colored stones: an inside glimpse of some distinguished recipients of GIA Monograph reports What is it about gems that captivate us? They lie at the intersection of a variety of disciplines: art, science, history, religion, politics, economics. Gems can be vehicles of innovation or remnants of time past. They celebrate, commemorate, communicate, and ameliorate. The raw beauty of gems is undeniable. But it is their communicative quality that heightens their appeal. Certain gems, in addition to their extraordinary physical characteristics, have a remarkable story to share. It is gems such as these that are documented in GIA Monograph reports. This premium service offers detailed documentation of outstanding gems in book format, offering a holistic perspective on their character and significance. The GIA Monograph report fleshes out the details of a gem’s story, highlighting the features that elevate the gem to the realm of the truly exceptional. In this presentation, we will examine several of the colored-stone recipients of GIA Monograph reports. These recipients are noteworthy for their diverse and distinctive storylines. For example, one gem has an incredible history involving royalty, while another is notable for its intriguing parallel in the world of art. Yet another monograph showcases a breathtaking suite of matched rubies in a technically challenging jewelry setting, whereas another chronicles the manufacture of a sapphire from rough to spectacular finished gem. In these and in additional examples, we will explore the characteristics of magnificent gems and marvel at the merging of art and science in objects that are, truly, multifaceted. This event is free of charge CALL NOW: Seats are limited!! The usual wine and snacks will be both precede and concluded the evening. We look forward to seeing you there and hearing your latest news.
