Gia Williams is living her dream as a successful travel magazine columnist. Gia’s Gems, featuring a single, thirty-something lesbian who travels around and finds the little gay gems in each town she visits, is the best gig ever, right? There’s just one problem. Gia is agoraphobic, and she hasn’t left her house in years. Gia’s Gems is a complete photoshop fake. Lindsey Speyer is a huge fan of Gia’s Gems, so imagine her disappointment when she accidentally stumbles upon Gia’s secret. Not knowing what to do with the information, a friend talks Lindsey into turning the tables on Gia. Gia must come to Lindsey’s economically struggling Midwestern town and feature it in her next article...or else. Gia just needs to get through one week with one beautiful and captivating blackmailer in a quirky little town she’s never heard of. What could possibly go wrong?

Most of the material presented here was originally published in Gems & Gemology as articles and lab notes (short reports from the GIA Laboratory, formerly called the Gem Trade Laboratory) or as Gem News/Gem News International items between the years 1938 and 2007. Also included are summaries of presentations at GIA's 2006 International Gemological Symposium and Gemological Research Conference, which originally appeared in the Fall 2006 Proceedings volume produced by Gems & Gemology staff. The present work is organized in two main parts on color treatments and clarity treatments, with color photos and microimages on almost every page. Chapters in the section on color treatments cover coated diamonds, irradiated diamonds, and annealed diamonds. Chapters in the section on clarity treatments cover laser-drilled and glass-filled diamonds. Material is presented in chronological order to help readers follow the evolving areas of interest and understanding of these treatments. Some of the older material includes editorial comments to explain now-unfamiliar concepts or discuss significant development since the original publication. The book includes a poster-sized color chart enclosed in a side pocket, with color photos demonstrating diagnostic features of filled diamonds and testing techniques. Shigley is a distinguished research fellow at the GIA Lab in Carlsbad, California.

Called "the Fabergé of our time" by Diane von Furstenberg, Joel A. Rosenthal, who works in Paris under the name JAR, is one of the most acclaimed jewellery designers of the past thirty years. JAR is known for his use of precious and semi-precious stones resplendent with myriad shades of vibrant colour and set in organic shapes: one brooch, for instance, features lifelike petals in subtly differentiated hues, made from a thousand pavé sapphires and amethysts. The New York Times has described his jewellery as "belligerent, stubborn, audacious, funny, contradictory", while JAR himself has characterised his work as "somewhere between geometry and a bouquet of flowers". This book, featuring nearly 70 pieces from throughout JAR's career, provides a concise, accessible, elegantly designed retrospective of the best of his jewellery creations, and is the only book of its kind on his work available in English.
