We issue professional certificates that are recognized internationally and meet the highest industry standards. Our certifications are essential for insurance purposes, resale transactions, and establishing the provenance of valuable gemstones.
Types of Certificates We Issue
Gemstone Identification Certificate
This certificate provides definitive identification of the gemstone species and variety, including detailed gemological properties, measurements, and any treatments detected. It serves as official documentation of the stone's identity and natural or enhanced characteristics.
Quality Grading Certificate
Our quality grading certificates evaluate gemstones according to internationally recognized standards, including the famous 4Cs for diamonds (Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat) and equivalent quality factors for colored stones. These certificates provide comprehensive quality assessments that are crucial for determining market value.
Origin Determination Certificate
For premium gemstones where geographic origin significantly affects value, we provide origin determination certificates. Using advanced analytical techniques, we can often determine the likely geographic source of gemstones, which is particularly important for rubies, sapphires, and emeralds from famous localities.
Treatment Disclosure Certificate
This specialized certificate focuses on detecting and documenting any treatments or enhancements applied to gemstones. We use sophisticated analytical equipment to identify heat treatment, irradiation, fracture filling, and other common enhancement methods. Full disclosure of treatments is essential for ethical trade and accurate valuation.
