I was happy to hear from the team at International Gemological Reports (IGR London) recently, and for a couple of reasons. One is that the boutique London-based diamond and gemological laboratory was founded by Black private jeweler and industry luminary Thelma West (we highlight one of her outstanding diamond rings here), and the other is that the lab is entirely run by women. Both aspects make it a welcome anomaly in our white- and male- dominated jewelry industry.
And when IGR offered me a chance to connect with its lead gemologist, Zhanna Beissekova and see some of the most unique pieces she’s been tasked with evaluating I was of course delighted.
