This series captures the intrigue, jeopardy and rewards of the world’s gem trade, every step of the way. Viewers will follow gem dealer Ron LeBlanc, geologist Bernie Gaboury and jewelry maven Diane Robinson as they travel to remote regions in search of gemstones. A stone purchased for $4,000 at the source can jump to $50,000 when it has been flawlessly cut, and by the time it hits the market, can skyrocket to a quarter of a million dollars. Or, if botched during the cutting, can become practically worthless.

The compelling series I Survived... continues with new gripping episodes exploring first-person accounts of those who stared death in the face but survived. In each episode survivors tell the stories of their greatest ordeal in their own words... how they battled unbelievable odds to overcome a life-threatening situation.
