School of Business
"Gemmology is now a truly interdisciplinary profession. Today's professional gemmologist cannot function in a vacuum. They must know business management, salesmanship, and a variety of other subjects that are not strictly gemmological in nature. Most contemporary gemmologists are not just scientists, but are deeply involved in the gem and jewellery industry as a business."
The Late RICHARD T. LIDDICOAT
Chairman and Creator of the International Diamond Grading System, GIA
