Carat Points

The Carat Point System of Recognition is an award system that bestows points for GIA Alumni-approved career-enhancing activities and then permanently records them. Carat Point values are awarded to GIA Alumni Association members who participate in approved activities such as attending GIA Alumni and professional events; becoming a chapter officer; reading and acknowledging select articles from Gems & Gemology, The Loupe: GIA World News, GIA Insider and successfully completing the G&G challenge.
