I thought the fact that it was held on campus worked very well and allowed me to see around the labs that was a real opportunity not to be missed. Highlights for me were Prof. Galloway's presentation regarding Social Media Marketing in the luxury product market, Wallace Chan's exhibition and his presentation (what an interesting character he was, although I was as interested in his interpreter as I was with him..... but for different reasons that will be obvious to those that were there). One of the themes of the Symposium was Social and Environmental Responsibility. This is an area I have previously not paid a great deal of attention to but am now looking to see how my business can play a greater role in this area. The gemmology track was heavy going, once the diagrams of electron valency and infra-red spectroscopy came out, my brain started to shut down. As a result, I spent most of my time on the business track which was very rewarding. Look...    less

Adrian has worked extremely hard to build a really good association and I am extremely pleased to be part of it (just wish he would let me help more!!!) :) When a certain number of points have been collected a member is promoted to Senior member in recognition - still smiling about it now! :)  less

Shirley really is quite exceptional and all of us in AIJV are lucky to have her, indirectly we all benefit from the actions Shirley has taken over the last 7 months.

I am so pleased that you sent me a message and I am even more pleased with your comment! I look forward to sharing ideas with you. Here is something else you'll like; there is one other independent Grad Gemologist / Appraiser in my area. He and I are more colleagues than we are competition. Stuart Robertson will be speaking at your conference, right? He's one of the folks I most admire in our field (and with a name like that, he must be a Scot, right?). Best, Sue

This approach is so much more beneficial........ to both of you. Who is he by the way? Yes Indeed, Stuart is speaking at the conference and I too admire him greatly, he and I serve on the AGA Board of Governors and he and Richard are fellow members of AIJV. I too am looking forward to sharing ideas. Speak soon. Adrian
