Hi everyone:
Just wanted to introduce myself as I finally am getting involved with the forum. My name is Bonnie Betz and I am a Registered Gemologist/Appraiser as well as an Accredited Jewelry Professional.
I own Bonnie Betz Gems & Jewelry, LLC and the Mid-Atlantic Gemological Laboratory & Appraisals. Both businesses are devoted to the science of gemology and I do gem identification, gem appraisals, jewelry appraisals and I work closely with other organizations in the industry.
I also am the Site Administrator and Principal Contributor for the World Gem Society website, which is devoted to providing continuing education for gemologists and students of independent schools teaching gemology and appraisals. I think anyone looking into the site might enjoy the wealth of information and data presented on the site. It is a membership site, but the membership is relatively reasonable and offers a lot for the cost to the member.
I previously worked in the IT industry for about 41+ years and I also hold an Electrical Engineering (EE) degree and have done design engineering both hardware and software, so I have also b een able to mold my business along with both gemology and IT to create a unique business. I am really happy to be a part of this forum as I have spent almost 25 years in gemology, first as a hobbyist and now as a business person and I hope to learn from you all as well as maybe provide some feedback that you might find useful. Thanks again.
Regards,
Bonnie Betz, EE, AJP, RG, RGA
