What makes colored diamonds so special, and why do some turn out pink, some blue, and some yellow? What is special about a fancy-color diamond?
Those will be among the questions we’ll attempt to answer in an upcoming episode of Rapaport’s GEMTalks series.
Dr. Ulrika D’Haenens-Johansson, senior manager of diamond research at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), and Dr. Sally Magaña, the institute’s senior manager of diamond identification, will join Rapaport’s Joshua Freedman to discuss the topic.
“Understanding the Chemical and Physical Features of Colored Diamonds” will take place live on LinkedIn on Tuesday, March 11, at 10 a.m. Eastern time.
The session will also address defects in colored diamonds, treatments to color, and the impact of lab-grown diamonds. Dr. D’Haenens-Johansson and Dr. Magaña will give a presentation and answer questions from the audience.
This episode of the GEMTalks LinkedIn Live is brought to you by GIA — the Gemological Institute of America — protecting consumers and supporting the global gem and jewelry trade since 1931 through research, education and laboratory services.
