Seminars for Professional Enrichment

Attend free, informative seminars presented by IJL featuring GIA Instructors:

What is CAD/CAM and How is it Changing the Industry?

Sunday, Sept. 3, 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
Olympia Room
Speaker: Paula Carter Andrews, Jewelry Design/CAD Instructor, GIA

GIA’s Jewelry Manufacturing Arts team presents an interactive session on CAD/CAM. Using 3-D modeling programs, CAD/CAM allows us to create a physical model of a jewelry piece for mass production purposes. It has revolutionized the jewelry industry, as we can now create intricate forms that were not previously possible using traditional goldsmithing techniques.

Colombian Emerald Industry: Wind of Change

Monday, Sept. 4, 10:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.
The Academy – Olympia Room
Speaker: Francesca Lawley, Gemology Instructor, GIA
Emeralds from Colombia are among the world’s finest in terms of quality. Colombia has produced emeralds coveted around the world for centuries. The future potential looks stronger than ever with significant reserves left to be mined and initiatives for development of the industry. Join us for a fascinating presentation on the state of the Colombian emerald industry based upon one of GIA’s recent field expeditions to Colombia’s major emerald mines and visits to dealers and cutters in Bogotá.
