The American Gem Society operates as a nonprofit trade association that brings together retail jewelers, independent appraisers, suppliers, and selective industry participants. Members are expected to adhere to a stringent code of ethics that centers on safeguarding consumers and promoting education. The organization is based in Midland, Texas, and traces its origins to 1934, when Robert M. Shipley founded it.

With a mid-sized membership, the society positions itself as a standards- and education-oriented force within the jewelry sector. In 2026 it announced a new credential, Advanced Certified Gemologist Appraiser, reflecting its emphasis on advanced appraisal expertise. It supports its members through ongoing education and ethical guidance.
