(IDEX Online News) – AGS CEO Ruth Batson has also been appointed to the role of CEO of AGS Laboratories. AGS announced at the JCK show in June that it had acquired the outstanding shares of American Gem Society Laboratories, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary of the AGS.

“It will be a privilege to serve as the CEO of both of these organizations,” said Batson. “It is my goal to make sure that the combined forces of both the AGS and AGS Labs work more closely together to better service customers of the Lab and the members of the AGS.”

“Ruth has been part of the AGS Laboratory since its inception in 1996,” said Mark Moeller, CGA, and chairman of the AGS Laboratories board of managers. ”She understands that the success of the Lab is predicated on giving diamond buyers the most accurate diamond grading report in the world,” said “Her appointment is long overdue.”
