Gem-A has a well-established network of regional branches within the UK, where members of the Association regularly meet and discuss gemmology-related topics, and also have an opportunity to meet those with similar interests in their own areas.

For information on Branch events, see the meetings information listed on the News & Events area of the website. If you would like more information about a Branch in your area, please see below and contact your local branch committee members.
