Delving into the latest research findings on this timely topic, Dr. Wuyi Wang, GIA\u2019s director of Research and Development, will present the \u201cCurrent Status of Synthetic Gem Diamonds\u201d on Sept. 19 and 22.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wang\u2019s presentation will examine synthetic diamonds today; in particular, developments in CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) and HPHT (High Pressure \/ High Temperature) synthetic \u201cwhite\u201d diamonds, as well as gem-quality nano-polycrystalline diamonds. The Summer 2012 issue of Gems & Gemology (G&G), GIA\u2019s peer-reviewed scientific quarterly journal, covers these topics in-depth. Wang will review the findings presented in G&G and have samples available for viewing.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cSynthetic diamonds became a topic of much discussion in 2012,\u201d said Wang. \u201cGIA researchers have diligently kept up with advancements, and based on our research and experience, we\u2019re confident in our abilities to detect every kind of synthetic available in the marketplace.\u201d <\/u><\/u><\/span><\/div>\n

With more than 20 years of expertise in diamond geochemistry and the treatments of diamond and other gem material, Wang holds a doctorate in geology from the University of Tsukuba in Japan and a bachelor\u2019s degree in geology from Beijing University in China. He is widely published in gemological and geological publications, including G&G, Journal of Gemmology, American Mineralogist, and Earth and Planetary Science Letters. He has also been recognized with numerous honors, including the Richard T. Liddicoat and American Gem Society awards, as well as the Dr. Edward J. G\u00fcbelin Most Valuable Article Award from G&G.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/div>\n
