I'm currently trying to find out what getting a globally recognized gemologist certification entails. I live in the United States. Actually in Georgia. I've never been around anyone that specializes in this field and basically I'm feeling my way in the dark here. If u have any advice or can point me in the right direction. Thank u.
I am here because I am the exact example jeweller you have been discussing in the video. I've been a jeweler for 4 years with my dad at his shop. 80% of the time spent is making pieces in the workshop. On our sales floor we have an incredible gemologist with incredible knowledge on all the 1000+ pieces we sell. I am trying to get better at identifying stones, because I feel frustrated trying to sell people pieces when I myself am not confident about the qualities of each stone, or sometimes even knowing what the stones are! This video is made for people like me to get better at what we do. Your knowledge on gems is vast, but your ability to teach is also as important. Cheers from crazy Florida!
The reason I became a gemologist was for the exact reasons you mentioned, I didn't know what I was talking about and that can come across to customers. If you can, I would ask your gemologist to give you some training and go through some stones with you, learning from an experienced gemologist is amazing, especially if you have a really good selection of pieces available. Gemology can also be helpful at the bench as you learn that you need to adjust your working, especially setting different stones.
@@HaywoodsGems you have convinced me to start learning from my gemologist coworker! She has always liked to teach me tid bits of of certain stones. And each time she does I take that information to memory. You have helped someone with your advice :) You rock!
Are you able to identify gemstones in their raw form or only finished form? I'm ore interested in determining what the gem looks like as an unfinished product (rock form) because I'd like to use that knowledge to see if I can find any.
Yes, I can identify crystals and finished/faceted stones. If you study gemology, you are taught how to identify all types of stones as understanding how crystals form can help in identifying cut stones.
