As gemologists, it is essential for us to stay up to date with the latest developments in the world of gemmology. That is why our General Manager, Marc Segers, together with CEO Mingyue Yang, travelled to Idar-Oberstein last weekend, on April 18 and 19, to attend the Pearl Conference.
During the conference, specialists from DGemG, SSEF, Jagiellonian University in Krakow, LFG, and DSEF German Gem Lab delivered presentations covering various aspects of pearls, as well as the technologies and methods used to determine whether a pearl is natural or cultured. Topics also included identifying the type of mollusk from which a pearl originated, estimating its period through C14 dating and DNA analysis, and exploring the role of pearls in history and jewelry during the Renaissance period.
