Jeffery Bergman was reported by Dr. Bagaini GIA AJP-PG because since 2015 he falsely declared himself a Qualified Gemologist, illegally practicing a profession without having valid Professional Qualifications. Furthermore, Jeffery Bergman issued appraisals without having valid qualifications to practice this Profession, but using simple NON-Qualifying SSEF courses declaring them as Prestigious Qualifications, also illegally obtaining False Accreditations issued by the AGA Accredited Gemologists Association.

Once discovered, Jeffery Bergman tried to use defamatory intimidation to intimidate those who had filed complaints against him to the police, in fact he spread altered and falsified documentation that caused further complaints against him. Jeffery Bergman's desperate attempt failed and was exposed by Dr. Bagaini GIA AJP-PG who published the official communications of the Swiss Gemmological Institute SSEF, where it is confirmed that: 1) With these courses you are not a Gemologist. 2) With these courses it is not possible to issue appraisals and evaluations.

Sales Agent Jeffery Bergman "Colossal cluster of carats,estimated $50 million "

AUTHOR: DB - (United States)

POSTED: Saturday, May 10, 2025

Jeffery Bergman, the Fake Gemologist exposed and denounced, in America, Europe, and Thailand, did not imagine that an article from earlier, would be his Fall or collapse involving a complete disintegration of his image.
Articolo : The Deseret News 1 ott 1996 Salt Lake City, Utah, United States.
“Colossal cluster of carats”
Bangkok, Thalland, sales agent Jeffery Bergman display the world's largest known emerald cluster, worth an estimated $50 million.
In 2022, he himself published:
Overpricing misreported gemstones is a threat. Gemologists and dealers have to come to terms with this issue.
Unfortunately the only threat, and problem, is Jeffery Bergman the Fake Gemologist who Falsely claims to be SSEF SGC Qualified, also using Fake Accreditations issued by the Accredited Gemologists Association which state:
“ is hereby declared to be an Accredited Senior Gemologist “
This is to try to make people believe that he is a gemologist.

The name used in issuing these accreditations cannot be "suspected of misleading the public" and must be "distinguishable"

Accredited Gemologists Association ( AGA ) & Jeffery Bergman They make false declarations deceiving the public and the consumer

AUTHOR: DB - (United States)

POSTED: Tuesday, April 15, 2025

The Fraudulent behavior of this Association is shameful, and repeat offender with the issuance of Credits three times by declaring False.

This is the bad example in the gemology industry where Accredited Gemologists Association (AGA) declares the FALSE:

IS HEREBY DECLERED TO BE AN ACCREDITED SENIOR GEMOLOGIST

·     The name used in issuing these accreditations cannot be "suspected of misleading the public" and must be "distinguishable"

·     Misrepresent (interpret in an altered or false way, distort, distort) deceiving the Public and the consumer.

Used by Fake Gemologist Jeffery Bergman who Falsely claims “qualifying him as an SSEF SGC.”

·     Fake Accreditations ( AGA ) Issued to Fake Gemologist Jeffery Bergman who uses on website to deceive the public and consumer.

·     Fake Accreditations (AGA) Issued to Fake Gemologist Jeffery Bergman who uses Fraudulent appraisals to deceive the public and the consumer, issued using simple “NON-PROFESSIONALLY QUALIFYING” courses

 

Repeatedly specified by the Swiss Gemmological Institute, SSEF which through emails, communications on the website declares:

·     So the expansive gemological program Bergman claims that gives him a prestigious title is, according to the SSEF, just a one week course that does not bestow "a professional qualifying title or status".

·     The SGC is a 1-week course, that focuses on scientific techniques to test gemstone. It is not a professionally qualifying title or status.

·     Answers to the Frequently asked questions about SSEF courses.

Course participants are not certified gemmologists after completing our courses

·     Answers to the Frequently asked questions about SSEF courses.

1) All current SSEF courses are "non-degree" programmes.

2) This means that you do not receive a formal degree or title.

3) You will receive a certification of attendance.

We encourage students to list SSEF courses that they have attended on their resume or portfolio under education, specifying the course name, and the year of completion.

For example:

SSEF-Course Participation Certificate, Advanced Coloured Gemstone course (2024)

This e-mail was received from on SSEF :

·     Date: Swiss Gemmological Institute – SSEF <admin@ssef.ch>

Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2023 08:18

1) Our courses are not professionally qualifying courses 

2)They  don't make you a certified gemmologist.

3) If you are looking for a professional qualification, you to contact Gem-A, GIA or FEEG-Education.

 

·     Our courses are 1-2 week intense short courses. Certain courses such as the BDC or BGC have exams at the end of the course.

1) These introductory courses serve as an ideal introduction to gemmology and gem testing.

2) They will provide you with basic understanding of gems and how they can be tested, so that you can continue your career afterwards.

3)However, they are not professionally qualifying and they are not credentials that can be used behind one's name.

Conclusions: The Accredited Gemologists Association (AGA) is a repeat offender in spreading the False, being an accomplice of the Fake Gemologist Jeffery Bergman who uses the False Accreditations to deceive the public and the consumer, by issuing Fraudulent Appraisals, without possessing Professionally Valid Qualifications.

But it doesn't end here, this is just the beginning, says Dr. Bagaini GIA AJP-PG, European Police Association, International Experts in the service of justice, who adds:

There are facts and evidence that cannot be disclosed at this time, but which will be made public at the right time:
