GemsWorld 2026

INSIGHT 精辟洞见 GEMSWORLD | 19 | 2026 Although no entirely new treatments have emerged, the institute continually monitors market practices, disclosure behaviour and evolving treatment signatures. Transparency in enhancement reporting is central to maintaining trust across the supply chain, Ho asserted. AIGS also raises the standard of gemmological education by combining rigorous academic instruction with meaningful community engagement and practical industry exposure. Its Accredited Gemologist Diploma Programme, which attracts the greatest student interest, features core modules such as Synthetic and Treated Gem Identification as well as Coloured Stones Grading and Pricing, complemented by hands-on practical exercises. Students are also exposed to real-world gemmological practice through access to the AIGS Sample Gemstone Room, guided sessions in the AIGS Laboratory and Machine Room, and field-based experiences such as market visits, factory tours for cutting and heat treatment, and excursions to mines and museums. Institutional achievements The year 2025 was filled with significant milestones for AIGS, particularly in the areas of education and collaboration. Aside from holding the Accredited Gemologist Graduation Ceremony for students who completed their studies from 2019 to 2025, it organised its first official Alumni Connect gathering for graduates from 1978 to 2025. The institute also launched the AIGS Alumni Connector Programme, which offers graduates structured networking opportunities, professional support and ongoing engagement with the global AIGS community. Ho said, “Through initiatives such as Alumni Connector, expanded field programmes and ongoing curriculum development, we aim to shape a dynamic, globally connected generation of future gemmologists.” Partnerships with Kasetsart University and Shanghai Jian Qiao University strengthened research cooperation, academic exchange and international visibility. AIGS transitioned to a digital iPad-based learning environment as well. It modernised its classrooms by replacing paper worksheets with interactive digital tools, aligning education with contemporary laboratory workflows and supporting more sustainable practices. Course content, master sets, colour charts and gem ID charts were likewise revised and enhanced to incorporate the latest scientific and market developments. Looking ahead, AIGS is intent on exploring opportunities to expand its global footprint and enhance its laboratory and educational capabilities. According to Ho, innovation and deeper industry connections will drive the institute’s growth in the coming years. 亚洲宝石研究院(AIGS)称,缺乏全球统一的颜色标 准仍然是彩宝行业面临的长期挑战。 AIGS主席Kennedy Ho指出,彩宝的颜色光谱 比拥有国际公认分级体系的钻石复杂且主观得多。 他解释说:“颜色感知差异显著,这取决于光照条件、地 理环境,甚至宝石学家个人视力的生理差异。这些不一致性, 无可避免地影响彩色宝石的颜色报告、市场估值,以及消费 者的信心。 ” 尽管世界各地的宝石实验室都在努力遵循相似的原则, 但不同实验室对颜色、加工处理方式和产地的解读仍然存 在明显差异。这种缺乏统一性的情况,使快速增长的彩宝市 场中的沟通变得更加复杂。Ho认为,统一解读方法并制定精 确、共享的标准是当务之急。具一致性的方法不仅能提高透 明度,还能增强贸易商、收藏家和消费者之间的信任。 宝石检测 AIGS通过其检测服务,深入洞察市场趋势。在AIGS收到大 量红宝石、蓝宝石和祖母绿检测申请的同时,Ho观察到尖晶 石的送检数量显著增加。这一趋势既反映了市场需求上升,也 表明了尖晶石在收藏家和贸易商的收藏中占据更重要地位。 不论任何宝石类别,颜色品质、产地鉴定和处理状态是 AIGS客户最关心的问题。区分加热处理和未经加热处理的宝 石尤为重要,特别是在产地对价格有直接影响的高端市场。 Ho指出:“消费者对可靠的产地鉴定报告的需求依然强 劲,这再次印证了产地在全球宝石贸易中作为核心价值驱 动因素的作用。” 在2025年,AIGS检测过经处理的宝石之中,多数采用的 是长期沿用的优化处理技术,特别是热处理和铍扩散。 虽然目前还没有出现全新的处理技术,但AIGS会持续监 测市场实践、信息披露情况,以及不断演变的处理特征。 Ho强调,优化处理报告的透明度对于维护整个供应链的 信任非常重要。 同时,AIGS通过将严谨的学术指导、有意义的社区参与和 实用的行业实践相结合,进一步提升了宝石学教育的标准。 其认证宝石学家文凭课程最受学生欢迎,核心單元包括 合成及加工处理宝石鉴定、彩色宝石分级与定价,还有实习 课程。学生们还可以通过参观AIGS宝石样品室,在AIGS实验 室及设备室上指导课,还有实地探究,例如市场考察、参观 宝石切割与热处理工厂、游览矿山及博物馆,以掌握宝石学 实务操作。 机构成就 在2025年,AIGS树立了多个里程碑,特别在教育与合作 领域方面的成就斐然。该研究院不仅为2019年至2025年间 完成学业的学生举行了认证宝石学家毕业典礼,还举办了 首届官方校友联谊活动,汇聚了1978年至2025年的毕业生。 同时,研究院正式推出了AIGS校友连接计划,为毕业生提供 系统化的人脉拓展机会、专业支援及与全球AIGS社群持续 互动的渠道。 Ho表示:借着校友连接计划、扩展实地实践项目,以及持 续优化课程体系等举措,我们旨在培养一代充满活力、具备 国际视野的未来宝石学家。” 与泰国农业大学(Kasetsart University)和上海建桥学院 的合作,也让AIGS深化了科研合作、学术交流并提升了其国 际影响力。 同时,AIGS已转向以iPad为基础的数字化学习环境—— 以互动式数字工具取代纸本练习册,实现了教室现代化,使 教学内容与现代实验室工作流程相契合,并以此支持可持 续的教学实践。课程内容、标准套装、比色图表和宝石鉴定 图表也都进行了修订和改进,以反映最新的科学和市场发 展动态。 展望未来,AIGS致力寻找机遇,以扩大全球影响力,并提 升实验室和教育能力。Ho表示,创新和不断加强行业联系, 将成为该研究院未来几年的发展方向。
