Held in a beautiful location: the "Royal Mineralogy Museum" hall
On June the 13th 2016, IGI has offered the Neapolitan jewellery community a lecture/seminar on the new Ruby classification system and on the correct use of the "pigeon blood" terminology.
Presiding the venue were IGI's General CEO Mr. Roland Loriè in conjunction with the Director of IGI's educational branch (Gemtech) in Naples, Mr. Paolo Minieri. The event was hosted by the Geology and Mineralogy Department of the ancient and prestigious "Federico the 2nd" University of Naples, in its "Royal Mineralogy Museum" Hall.
The event has culminated with the presentation of a new Italian Gemological Quarterly Magazine, "Trasparenze News", to be distributed nationwide.

The students received their diplomas following successful completion of their gemological courses and examinations. IGI co-CEO Roland Lorié and director of the institute’s Naples branch Paolo Mineri, presided over the ceremony. More than 100 jewelers were present for the event.
