Elisa is a Certified Gemologist Appraiser through the American Gem Society and a Graduate Gemologist through the Gemological Institute of America. Her latest accomplishment is adding FGA to her accolades from the Gemmological Association of Great Britain. Very few gemologists in the United States strive for this distinction. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in Earth Sciences. She is an expert at identifying and selecting extremely unique and valuable colored gemstones. Along with Olufson Designs’ outstanding reputation among our peers, her expertise was a significant factor in our acceptance to the American Gem Society (AGS), an organization dedicated to high standards of ethics and professionalism. American Gem Society member stores must adhere to strict standards of ethics and continuing education.
