Carlsbad, Calif.—The Summer 2007 issue of The Loupe: GIA World News commemorates the award-winning magazine's 60th anniversary with a lead story detailing its history.

The story charts The Loupe's progress from its first four-page issue in 1947 to the 36-plus page magazine it has become, and reviews important coverage, columns and notable people featured in its pages over the years.

Another story reviews the collection of Bernd Munsteiner's jewelry and gem sculptures now on display at GIA's Carlsbad campus in a new exhibit titled "Reflections in Stone: The Art of Bernd Munsteiner." Details about the exhibit, the artist and Si and Ann Frazier's opening lectures are featured.

"Colorful Jaipur" marks the magazine's second photo spread on India's growing gemstone market.

This issue also introduces a new section, "Laboratory News," which includes updates and changes to GIA's laboratory services.

Also included is information on how podcasts help the GIA's course-development team offer educational updates even faster; coverage of industry events including GemFest Basel, the recent ICA Congress, the Sinkankas Symposium and JCK Las Vegas; updates to the GIA's career search engine; instructor and student experiences in the Graduate Jeweler program; and information on how to establish a new alumni chapter with the GIA's new "Quick Start Guide."
