AGS creates ‘GoTo Guilds’

American Gem Society (AGS) has launched a virtual guild designed to allow members and non-members to come together.

“GoTo Guilds is not meant to replace our traditional guild meetings the society has around the country,” said Laura Stanley, chair of the international guilds.

“Originally, the intention of the guilds was a way for our members in remote areas to have a meeting, albeit virtually. We quickly realized that with the breadth of educational topics we can offer, though, members of our traditional guilds might also want to attend these virtual meetings.”

Peter Yantzer, executive director of AGS Laboratories, kicked off the first GoTo Guilds meeting earlier this month with his presentation, ‘Light Performance 101,’ an in-depth primer on AGS’s light performance cut grade.
