GEMOLOGIST

Studying Gemology provides Jennifer the skill to properly identify gem material, quality grade, and evaluate jewellery before it is valuated.

The appraising discipline is separate from gemology. It is the study of valuation science. Jennifer uses principles and methods to calculate the value based on gemological grading/evaluation, materials, and the appropriate market.
