IGI to launch associations in Italy

The International Gemological Institute (IGI) will unveil two new organizations at a jewelry workshop it’s running in Italy today.

The first, the IGI Italy Association — which is behind the workshop — will represent the Antwerp-based laboratory’s operations in Italy. The IGI Italy Alumni Association, meanwhile, will help professionals network via websites, as well as through a gemological journal published in English and Italian.

The workshop will take place today, on Wednesday in Caserta, 30 kilometers north of Naples.
