John Koivula, Chief Gemologist, Gemological Institute of America (GIA),
named one of the most influential people in the jewelry industry by
\u201cJewelers<\/span>\u2019 Circular Keystone Magazine,\u201d illuminates the internal world of
gemstones in a fascinating and alluring presentation. Whether natural or
synthetic, precious stones<\/span> have come to mean great beauty, enormous
wealth and enduring mystery for many cultures throughout the world. Held
in conjunction with our extraordinary exhibition, Gemstone Carvings:
Masterworks of Harold Van Pelt<\/em>, Koivula reveals that the micro-world of
gems is not only big business for jewelry collectors, but an extraordinary
window to our planet’s past, as time capsules of natural history.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
