If you enjoyed your science classes or you thrive on doing carefully detailed work, a position as a gemologist or laboratory grader might be for you. Most graders work in gemological laboratories performing quality analyses on diamonds and colored gemstones. Large retailers, manufacturers and importers also employ gemologists and graders as quality control specialists to perform similar work with finished jewelry. Primarily, a grader’s job is to provide the certificates and reports that assure customers that the diamonds and gemstones they are buying are of a stated quality, or that a piece of jewelry meets a predetermined set of quality standards.

Is this a career for me?
Doing lab work requires the ability to concentrate closely for long periods of time, and to be consistent in the quality of the work you do. Graders are self-motivated and disciplined. They are good at prioritizing and at time management, and are not easily distracted or interrupted. They must work well with their supervisors and other graders. Some will take on the task of monitoring or training new employees.

Most gemologists and graders became interested in science, especially rocks and minerals, at an early age; in fact, many still continue to add to the rock collections they started in their youth. Typically, graders also enjoy working with microscopes and other grading instruments, including sophisticated computerized tools. Graders may also make use of technical drawings to complete reports.

Some gemologists and lab graders become researchers and use their knowledge and skills to learn more about gems and about how science and technology impact both gemstones and the jewelry industry.
