GIA plans a massive showcase of services at 2017 JCK show

GIA has planned a big showcase of its services at the forthcoming 2017 JCK Las Vegas show, including an in-depth look at GIA M2M TM – a new service that tells the digital story of a diamond; information about a new easy-to-operate instrument to identify mounted and loose natural diamonds; colored stone services available at the GIA Show Service Laboratory; striking displays of synthetic diamonds and a miniature symphony of gems; and free in-booth briefings on must-know industry topics.

GIA’s M2M service allows everyone along the diamond value chain to tell the digital story of a diamond. GIA Vice President of Lab Operations Matt Crimmin will talk about the new offering during the “JCK Talks” series.

GIA Executive Vice President and Chief Laboratory and Research Officer Tom Moses and GIA research scientist Dr. Evan Smith, lead author of a recent Science magazine cover story on diamond geology, will discuss the latest GIA synthetic diamond research and describe GIA’s new detection device for mounted and loose natural diamonds.

Representatives at GIA’s booth will be available to discuss education offerings and laboratory services for companies and professionals of the industry, share information about GIA’s Retailer Support Program’s educational materials, web apps and point of sale aids; and help attendees register for GIA’s Retailer Lookup.

The highlights of GIA’s showcase include - GIA at JCK Talks; Telling the Digital Story of a Diamond: GIA M2M™; GIA Colored Stone Update; GIA Instruments (Gem Testing Device, UV LED Lamp and Viewing Cabinet, DLScope with Overhead Lamp); GIA Show Service Laboratory; Education Seminars (Colored Gemstone Inclusions, Identifying Synthetic Diamonds); GIA In-Booth Briefings; Striking Museum Displays (A Symphony in Gemstones, Synthetic Diamonds); “JCK Rocks the Bowl” with GIA Alumni.
