Counterfeiting Gems
John Hatleberg, widely considered the world's foremost counterfeiter of famous diamonds, will be the next speaker in Knowledge Fridays, the monthly lecture series at The Church in Sag Harbor, Friday at 6:30 p.m.
Mr. Hatleberg's interest began at a young age when his mother was a documentary photographer for the Smithsonian's gem collection. Always working with the actual gems, he has created exact replicas of famous diamonds since 1987. Among the many he has replicated are the Hope, the Dresden Green, the Guinea Star, and the Blue Heart.
