History
Robert M. Shipley established the Gemological Institute of America in Los Angeles in 1931. Their main mission is to protect buyers and sellers of gemstones by putting up standards to evaluate gemstone quality. Through intensive research, the institute is able to identify gemstones and grade diamonds. The institute also offers courses so that one can become a Certified Gemologist.
In 1934, the very first issue of Gems & Gemology was published. Gems & Gemology is a scientific journal published quarterly by the Gemological Institute of America. The journal is dedicated to researching various gemstones, diamonds, and pearls. It also talks about treatments, different identification techniques, geographic sources, and imitation and synthetics. Each issue contains updates from the GIA and other international gemology sources.
In the early 1940s, Robert M. Shipley developed the 4Cs, which are the four factors that help identify a diamond’s value. The 4Cs stands for carat weight, clarity, cut, and color. Years later, Shipley’s successor Richard T. Liddicoat expanded on the 4Cs and the grading scales. Then, in 1953, the GIA published the very first diamond grading report. The report soon became the international jewelry industry’s benchmark for grading diamonds.
