The AGTA has proposed the use of gemstone treatment codes to promote disclosure and a common language for these procedures. Learn what these codes mean.
For more information, consult the AGTA Gemstone Information Manual. Note that consumers should still receive information on enhancements in "plain language," not simply codes. However, hopefully, these codes will promote a "uniform and consistent communication language."
This is an excellent start. One can only hope that awareness, disclosure, and integrity will converge to maintain the health and viability of one of the world's oldest commercial markets.
