The German Gemmological Association (DGemG) is a nonprofit, technical-scientific association in the field of gemmology, located in the European gemstone center Idar-Oberstein. The two most important points of the statutes are the promotion of gemmology as science and technique and the development of information and education in the field of gemmology.〔''75 years German Gemmological Association'' anniversary-magazine, self-published, 2007.〕 == History == The DGemG was founded by the gemstone dealer and gemmologist Georg Otto Wild from Idar-Oberstein in 1932.〔Georg Otto Wild, Karl Hans Biegel: ''Kleiner Wegweiser zum Bestimmen von Edelsteinen.'' Franckh'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, Stuttgart 1950, .〕 Therefore the DGemG is one of the three oldest gemmological institutes worldwide. Gemmological courses have been offered since 1935 and since 1952 the journal ”GEMMOLOGIE. Journal of the German Gemmological Association” has been published. Beginning in 1968 the education was systematized in three fields: Gemmology of coloured stones, grading of diamonds and pearls/organic substances. The fundamental research and applied gemmology was done at the University of Heidelberg. In 1969 the “Professor-Dr.-Karl-Schlossmacher-Stiftung” was founded by the DGemG, which was renamed as “Deutsche Stiftung Edelsteinforschung” (DSEF) in 1979. 1975 the new building of the German Gemmological Association and facilities of the German Gemmological Education Center – German public vocational development office for Gemmology - were opened in the Professor-Schlossmacher-Straße. The international qualification F.G.G. (Fellow of the German Gemmological Association)was introduced in 1986 to support economy-related gemmological projects by the financial district parliament of Rhineland-Palatinate. In 2000 the gemmological courses and refresher-courses were improved to be more oriented towards the branch of trade. Nine years later followed a certification of the Association as a member of the public vocational development program (AZWV in Germany)〔(DGemG - Wir über uns )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「German Gemmological Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
