Autumn 2019 Edition of Gems&Jewellery Arrives!

The Autumn 2019 issue of Gems&Jewellery magazine is now available, offering a captivating exploration of the gemstone and jewellery world. This issue features a diverse range of articles, updates, interviews, and Gem-A news.

Covering the front page is the "Siren of Serendip" sapphire, set in a white gold and diamond necklace, gracing the cover photo. Rui Galopim de Carvalho FGA DGA delves into the origins of this legendary sapphire and its transformation into a piece of jewellery on page 36.

The Autumn issue also features a preview of the speakers and talks for the Gem-A Conference 2019. However, our search did not yield the schedule for the conference, so we recommend checking the conference section or events calendar in the magazine for the official schedule.

Jewellery designer Sarah Ho's new Full Circle Collection is highlighted, along with insights into Jochen Leën's career and upcoming projects. The issue also includes articles on tortoiseshell trading confusion, a Gem-A student project on 'The Importance of Jade in the Mughal Court', and a quick introduction of the Ivory Act.

The magazine also recaps Olga González's account of the June jewellery and gem shows in Las Vegas, including Couture, JCK, and AGTA GemFair. Unfortunately, our search did not find an article by Olga González or Barbara Kolator FGA DGA DGA EG about jewellery shows or gemstone shopping in this issue.

John Benjamin FGA DGA FIRV discusses the various faces of turquoise in jewellery design history in his Gemstone Conversations series. However, the agate 'Moonflower' vase, which won gold at the Goldsmiths' Craft & Design Council Awards 2019, is not featured in this issue.

Lastly, Renée Newman GG proposes a new system '6Cs and 2Ts' for redefining the 4Cs of diamonds, offering a fresh perspective on the diamond grading system.

For those interested in photography, the issue does provide information about the Gem-A Photographer of the Year Competition, including the prizes up for grabs.
