Welcome to the 2024 Recertification Resources! Congratulations on your decision to renew your commitment to your professionalism. You’ll find everything you need to complete your exam here.
The exam questions are based on the Abstract Booklet authored by leading experts from both inside and outside the jewelry industry. This includes content from the 2024 Conclave, webinars, and other relevant industry updates. The recertification is an open-book exam with no time limit once you begin. A passing score is 75% or higher. The course is assigned to your individual account. Please use the login credentials provided in the recertification communications you received, or click here to reset your credentials.
Can’t log in or have a question? Check out the FAQ section below, or email us at [email protected].
Please enjoy this special message from Kevin Mays, CGA, Chair of the American Gem Society’s Education Committee.
Please click on the links below to download the Recertification Abstract Booklet and Exam Questions PDFs. All titles and designations have the same documents.
Look for your title or designation logo at the top of each abstract to identify if it is required reading for your exam. The exam questionnaire marks where to stop depending on your title or designation.
Purchasing a printed version of the recertification exam allows you to take the exam in writing and submit by mail.
In the mailing, you will receive:
Please note: We will mail the recertification exam packet to you via USPS within seven business days of receiving payment.
The recertification exam must be received by the AGS offices by the due date of October 14, 2024. Please make sure to mail your exam with enough time for mailing handling and transport.
Once you have passed your recertification exam, share this significant achievement with your clients and community! You’re not only demonstrating your expertise, but you are also setting your business apart and leveraging your AGS membership to attract and retain clients, and ultimately increase sales.
Here are five ways you can promote your credentials:
1 – Display it. Frame your 2024 Certificate of Achievement, hang it up, or place it in a high-traffic place at your business. When clients notice it, you can educate them on what it stands for and what it means to them.
2 – Don’t forget your designee or titleholder logo. Download your logo here and add it on your website, email signature, business cards, letterhead, and social media—anywhere you know clients and colleagues will see it!
3 – Download your Digital Badge. You will be receiving an email from us indicating that your 2024 recertification digital badge is available for download. A digital badge is a graphical icon that indicates your credentials and accomplishments, and is displayed, accessed, and verified online. The badges can be added to your email signature, website, or social media. Go to ags.org/digitalbadging to learn more!
4 – Submit a notification to your local business publication. Click here to download and personalize the “AGS Recertification Completion Press Release” to send to local press and share with your clients.
Some of these publications provide an online submission form for readers to submit short notices sharing news of promotions, credentials, and other related updates. Here’s a sample template you can use for these purposes. Just copy, paste, and fill in the fields where indicated by brackets:
Sample notice:
[Your Name] with [Your Business] in [City] has been [fill in certified OR recertified] as a member of the American Gem Society (AGS) and has retained the title of [fill in title].
Successful completion of an annual recertification exam is required to maintain membership in the Society, a trade organization founded in 1934 and dedicated to proven ethics, knowledge, and consumer protection within the jewelry industry. The exam completed by [Your Name] covered questions relevant to gemology, the jewelry industry, and ethics, and are designed to ensure that its members have the most current information needed to provide clients with accurate and knowledgeable service.
Only one in twenty jewelers have met the exacting requirements necessary for membership. To join AGS, every member must go through a peer-reviewed application process followed by the annual recertification exam. To learn more, visit americangemsociety.org.
5 – Share your achievement on social media. We’ve seen members promote their credentials in creative ways. Snap a photo of your printed certificate and ask your audience: “Do you know why this piece of paper is so important?” If you’re included on the Recertification Honor Roll, let everyone know! We’ve written social media-ready posts you can copy and share. Click here to access the Content Portal. You may be prompted to log in.
How have you promoted your credentials? Join our members-only Facebook group and share your ideas. If you need assistance with the downloads or templates, contact Marketing at [email protected].
For titleholders and designees that pass the recertification exam with a score of 100% on their first attempt, we recognize this terrific achievement by placing them on the Recertification Exam Honor Roll!

You can download the abstracts as a PDF by clicking here.
To take the exam, click here to log into AGS PRO. View a helpful video tutorial here to guide you through the process.
You’ll find the recertification exam in the “My Courses” section of your AGS PRO dashboard or by selecting “My Learning” from the left menu.
Our team has created a video tutorial for you! Please click here to watch.
Titleholders and designees attached to member firms will be billed an annual recertification fee upon launch of the recertification exam. Invoices are billed to the firm once the recertification period opens. This ensures your firm only supports titleholders and designees who are qualified to carry their credentials upon completing their recertification exam.
If payment for the recertification fee invoice is not received within the 62-day grace period, the individual’s title or designation may not be renewed.
We understand that focusing on your business is your priority. Our hope is that the current timeframe allows enough time for you to complete the recertification exam. If you cannot complete the exam, it may result in the non-renewal of your title, which may affect milestones and your firm’s membership status.
If you have an emergency or a medical reason that won’t allow you to complete the recertification exam during that time, please contact us by August 14, 2024, to discuss an alternate timeline. Individuals are able to reinstate their titles as outlined in the AGS Membership Manual, “Reinstatement of Titles.” However, this may require additional education to be completed, including the AGS Way Course, previous outstanding recertification exams, and additional fees. When a firm member loses its last titleholder, it will have two (2) years to employ a titleholder. If the firm is unable to complete this, it may result in the loss of membership.You will have to reinstate your title as outlined in the AGS Membership Manual, “Reinstatement of Titles.” This may require additional education to be completed, including the AGS Way Course, previous outstanding recertification exams, and additional fees. Contact us when you’re ready to reinstate!
The recertification exam is open-book, so you can reference the abstracts provided. If you don’t pass the first time, you may retake it before the deadline. The passing score is a 75% or better.
Yes, recertification of your AGS title or designation is what sets it apart as a true professional credential! The recertification exam is also an excellent resource for ongoing professional development.
All active AGS titleholders and designees who have earned their title or designation before December 1, 2023, are required to recertify.
