Length:
6 hours
Instructor: Ted Irwin, Graduate Gemologist
NGI Director
Pre-requisite: Gemstone Identification
This is the class that teaches gemstone values. Learn
the subtle differences that impact what you spend for
colored gemstones and how to buy them wisely - whether
at a trade show or from your local vendor. Discuss color
description systems and how to ask the right questions.
Learn to better shop the trade shows and preview the
world's largest in Tucson, Arizona.
Graduates are eligible for Ted's Tucson Tour, our annual
February trip to the best classroom on earth.
Our gemstone price guide is an integral part of this
class and will be utilized as you examine the major
colored stone varieties in different quality categories
(we also include a section on diamond prices). If you
buy gemstones, learn from our school rather than the
"school of hard knocks."
