In the latest addition to Jeweller’s ‘Gemmologists who changed the game’ series, it’s time to shine a light on the contributions of Sylvia Whincup.
Dr. Donald B. Hoover was a distinguished figure in the field of gemmology. He was born on June 17, 1930, and passed away on January 22, 2023, at the age of 92.
The latest addition to this series of gemmologists who left their mark on the world of gemstones and jewellery is a man who likely contributed to the education of many readers of Jeweller.
In the latest instalment of the ‘game-changing gemmologists’ series, we introduce a figure of such influence that he likely requires little introduction - Richard T. Liddicoat Jr.
In the previous issue of Jeweller, we covered the life and times of mineralogist George Kunz. Approximately 20 years before the death of Kunz, Eduard Josef Gübelin was born in eastern Switzerland in 1913.
