Gemologists

/dʒɛˈmɒlədʒɪsts/ noun

Definition

Plural of gemologist; multiple experts who study and analyze gems.

Etymology

Standard English plural formed by adding -s to gemologist. Maintains the Greek-derived suffix -ist with regular English pluralization to indicate multiple practitioners of gemology.

Kelly Says

The Gemological Institute of America trains thousands of gemologists worldwide using standardized grading systems, so a G.I.A. certification on a diamond's report means expert eyes from Tokyo to Toronto followed the same rigorous testing protocols.
