    Hi Nick. 

    After graduating from an institution such as GIA, some gemologists
    spend another couple of years in academia and stand a comprehensive
    examination process with Accredited Gemologists Association. After
    satisfying the requirements, the academic designator M.G.A. (Master
    Gemologist Appraiser) is conferred. A couple of notables with this
    designator are Richard Drucker of Gemworld International and Anna M.
    Miller, author of Gems & Jewelry Appraising: Techniques of
    Professional Practice. The list is long and distinguished. 

Best,
James in SoFl
