The instructor also enlightened the alumni about the inclusion sceneries of rubies that can help one identify and understand their origin.

Apoorva Deshingkar said, “The alumni session on ‘Mistaken Identity’ is a great series where we explore cases in which gemstones were mistaken for another type and species probably because they were identified based predominantly on colour. This session is the second in the series so far and we’re pleased with the exchange of insights this platform has provided so far to the GIA alumni.” He added, “I sincerely thank Jayeshbhai for sharing his knowledge and expertise on rubies. His rich experience and expertise combined with the context set by GIA instructor presenting excerpts from GIA’s research provides an enriching experience to the alumni.”

The credibility of GIA and its research provides one with all the information required to have an edge in the industry, be it sourcing or selling. It also helps in building consumer confidence.”
