Please join us in congratulating our owner Robert Flynn on earning the prestigious American Gem Society Certified Gemologist designation! 💎
For more than 10 years, Robert has been Columbia’s only GIA-certified Graduate Gemologist working in a retail jewelry store. Now, he has added another significant credential that reflects his ongoing commitment to excellence in gemology and jewelry education.
The AGS Certified Gemologist title is awarded by the American Gem Society to professionals who demonstrate advanced expertise in diamond and gemstone identification, grading, and evaluation, while maintaining the highest standards of ethics, continuing education, and consumer protection.
At Betz Jewelers, we believe our clients deserve expert guidance when making important jewelry purchases, evaluating heirlooms, or selecting the perfect diamond. Rob’s achievement represents countless hours of study and a dedication to providing the highest level of knowledge and service to our community.
We are incredibly proud of this accomplishment and grateful to have that expertise available to serve all of you every day.
Congratulations, Robert! 👏✨
