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

“We’re truly honored to receive the prestigious Bernays Award,” said G&G Editor-in-Chief Alice S. Keller. “This recognition is a tribute to the talent and dedication of the journal’s staff, as well as our many authors, photographers, and other contributors.”
