. Since I''m always on PS looking, drooling and learning of diamonds and colored gemstones, my DH has persuaded me to take a Gemology course. Right now, I''m taking the Gemology course through IGS (International Gemology Society). My Dh is buying me some of the neat toys (tools) - stereo gemology microscope with a ccd camera that captures images and shows them on my PC screen (that''s so cool), Gemology Tools software, some colored stones and cheap diamonds (off eBay) to play around with.
Throughout the reading material there are self tests that I can take, I can say that being on PS has certainly paid off. I''ve scored perfectly in all the diamond tests. I''ve got a lot of work and studying to do with the colored gemstones though but it shall be challenging.
Once I finish the course and pass, I will receive a certificate of an Professional Gemologist.
My goal is to finish this course within 6 months or less and then take the GIA Distance Education and get my GG.
Well, I just wanted to share my excitement. Being 32, I think I found my calling. When I grow up, I want to be a jewelery appraiser, mostly diamonds though
.
Thanks PS!
