Intro
Following the success of its first three editions, the Photomicrography Contest returns to GemGenève in 2027, opening the project to gemmology schools and students from around the world. This unique educational initiative invites students to discover and reveal the hidden beauty of gemstones through photomicrography, combining scientific observation, technical expertise, creativity and artistic expression.
Participants are invited to capture the fascinating world revealed under the microscope and transform their observations into compelling photographic compositions.
