Introducing the JewelFolio:
A New Directon in Gemology
We have the pleasure of working with some of the most beautiful and rare objects on the planet, creations of wonder and awe. Yet wonder and reverence are too often absent from lab documents.
Enter the JewelFolio™
The AGTA GTC JewelFolio™ is a custom-built one-of-a-kind document for a one-of-a-kind jewel. Each JewelFolio™ consists of a hardcover cloth or leather-bound volume that will be a companion to an individual jewel. Volumes are based around a type of gemstone and/or origin.
The following JewelFolios are now available:
- Kashmir sapphire
- Colombian emerald
- Sri Lankan Sapphire
- Burmese sapphire
- Burmese ruby
- Tanzanite
Additional volumes are in preparation.
Contents
Every JewelFolio™ consists of approximately 32–42 full-color pages and features the following:
- History, legends and lore
- Modern and antique maps and photos
- Color photos illustrating both rough and cut gemstones and inclusions
- Detailed testing information on the specific specimen, including advanced tests
- Macro and microphotographs which will separate the specific specimen from all others
- Reproduction of the standard AGTA GTC Origin Report
- References for further reading and care instructions
In addition to the above, JewelFolios are individually numbered, making each a collector’s item.
Cost
JewelFolios are lavish documents for lavish objects, and represent an entirely new paradigm in the realm of gemological laboratory reports. See our fee schedule for full pricing information.
Summing up
When Edward Gübelin, one of the fathers of modern gemology, was asked what could be done to sell more colored gemstones, he answered: "We have to emphasize the importance of gemstones as true gifts of nature and essential parts of our culture."
Gifts of nature. Essential parts of our culture. People are drawn to precious gemstones because of passions, not just properties. The purchase of a gemstone is an emotional contract that connects the new owner with people and places across the planet. Bonding modern science with romance and history, the AGTA GTC JewelFolio™ rekindles desire, reinforcing the connection to the places and cultures from which these treasures come.
Welcome to the AGTA GTC JewelFolio™ – a truly new direction in gemology.
