The video of the presentation “Color Gemstone Sales: Are you Compliant or at Risk?” featuring Robin Spector, Federal Trade Commission attorney, and Cecilia Gardner, Jewelers Vigilance Committee, president, chief executive officer and general counsel, is on the American Gemological Laboratories Web site.

In addition, Christopher Smith, AGL chief gemologist, presents a number of images of commonly sold gemstones and exposes the list of treatments on these stones that should be disclosed under the FTC Guidelines. Plus, there is a brief list of options provided by AGL that answer the FTC rules economically and increase the marketability of the gemstones.

The information includes money laundering statutes, Nuclear Regulatory Commission rules, and increased interest in the FTC gemstone guidelines.
