Gems & Gemology, the Gemological Institute of America’s quarterly professional journal, received the Edward L. Bernays “Mark of Excellence” award from the Public Relations Society of America’s San Diego Chapter.

Gems & Gemology, which publishes up-to-date technical information about diamonds and colored stones, won the Mark of Excellence in the magazine category.

This was the fifth consecutive year that GIA has been recognized in the contest named for Bernays, “the father of public relations.”

“The Bernays Awards is an opportunity for the San Diego public relations industry to come together to honor their peers for exemplary work,” said Derek Danziger, president of the PRSA San Diego Chapter. “The awards continue to raise the bar for public relations work countywide.”
