Bruno Bolli, FGA, expert SGG (Swiss Gemmological Society) for gemstones, was born in 1937.

He studied gemmology in Germany under Prof. Schlossmacher, followed by an SGG education to reach the expert diploma, and obtained his FGA in London.

Mr. Bolli has undertaken numerous travels to the sources of gemstones and pearls. During these travels he produced enough film material to enable him to create over 40 educational films about gold and gemstones.

Mr. Bolli is author of the trade book "Jewellery, Gemstones, Watches" and gives lectures at many occasions.
