Ruby and its treatments
During this seminar Doug will introduce the various treatments that have been used to improve the colour and/or clarity of ruby. Rubies filled with lead glass are very prevalent at the moment. Recognition of these treatments is extremely important for anyone selling, valuing or buying rubies.
Tuesday 7 September - 10:00 am to 12:00 midday
Diamond treatments and imitations
Diamond is the gemstone that is most often encountered in the jewellery trade. During this session Doug will explore the treatments that are used to alter the appearance of diamond clarity. Diamond imitations will also be considered and the means of separating these from diamond will be discussed.
