		In 2012, Donald Clark retired and passed along stewardship of the IGS to Seth and Lisa Rosen. Seth and Lisa were longtime members of the IGS.  Seth is a gem collector and active Internet entrepreneur, who had already spent a great deal of time in the custom jewelry business. He founded <a href="https://www.custommade.com">CustomMade, the world’s largest online custom jeweler</a> and also operates <a href="https://www.ganoksin.com">The Ganoksin Project, a technical resource website for bench jewelers and jewelry manufacturers</a>. Seth and Lisa felt strongly that the IGS needed to remain a cost-effective, accurate, and comprehensive resource for all those interested in gemology.  IGS is our passion, and it is a family business.

		Donald Clark, CSM founded the International Gem Society in 1998. Donald started in the gem and jewelry industry in 1976. He received his formal gemology training from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the American Society of Gemcutters (ASG). The letters &#8220;CSM&#8221; after his name stood for Certified Supreme Master Gemcutter, a designation of Wykoff&#8217;s ASG which has often been referred to as the doctorate of gem cutting. The American Society of Gemcutters only had 54 people reach this level. Along with dozens of articles for leading trade magazines, Donald authored the book Modern Faceting, the Easy Way.
