Visual Resources Library

Comprising approximately 50,000 images of gems, gem localities, and jewelry, GIA's acclaimed Visual Resources Library is primarily used for course materials, GIA classroom lectures, presentations delivered by GIA staff, and incorporation into GIA publications. However, GIA makes a number of its images available to the public for a fee. Please contact the VRL for more information.

GIA makes available a select number of images to teachers and students for educational purposes at no charge. Click here to view these images and read the usage agreement.
