Step into the lab of Europe’s premier diamond authority. With the rise of lab-grown diamonds and advanced color treatments, the gemology industry relies heavily on cutting-edge analytical chemistry. In this highly specialized workshop, you will be guided by Ms. Marleen Bouman, Global Head of Research at HRD Antwerp and a renowned expert in geodynamics and advanced spectroscopic detection techniques.
You will explore the frontline of gemological defense, discovering how sophisticated spectroscopy is used to characterize diamond defects, study 480nm absorption bands, and detect synthetic or color-treated stones. This is a brilliant opportunity for analytical and physical chemists to see their everyday tools applied to high-stakes, high-value commercial challenges.
