The American Gem Trade Association announced last week that they have finished production of the CIBJO Retailers’ Reference Guide, a reference book designed to assist sales associates in the retail store in providing correct information to clients. The book is the result of a collaborative effort by CIBJO members around the globe and covers colored gemstones, diamonds, pearls and precious metals.

The Retailers’ Reference Guide is available through AGTA for $100 per copy. AGTA members will receive one complimentary copy. Additional copies for members of AGTA and other CIBJO-member organizations (i.e. AGS, JVC, JBT) will be $50 each. There are only a limited number of books available from this first publishing run, so if you are interested in obtaining a copy, contact sales@agta.org or call (800) 972-1162.
