Webinar – Gemmology on the Road
Presented by: Duncan Parker, Vice-President of the Canadian Gemmological Association and Vice-President of Dupuis Fine Jewellery Auctioneers
FREE for CGA current paid 2025 members
Non-Members: $25
About: Sometimes we find ourselves in a working environment where we have limitations in tools available. Perhaps we have to examine jewels in a bank vault, maybe meet a client in their house or office, or arrange to meet clients in meeting rooms by appointment while travelling. We usually don’t have our microscope, our grading lights, our larger equipment. This webinar, by Duncan Parker, will explore what Duncan’s toolbox includes when he goes out on the road to meet consignors for auction. We will discuss the approach to identification of gems and jewellery on the road when you have limited resources and a tight time-frame.
