Professional gemstone examination and identification services for jewellery professionals, gemstone dealers and private clients.
Our lab focuses on accurate gemstone identification and detailed gemological examination.
Each stone can be examined for its physical, optical and microscopic characteristics to help determine its identity and important gemological properties. Findings are recorded methodically, so that a client, jeweller or gem dealer receives a clear, defensible account of what a stone is and what has been done to it.
Our approach follows established gemological method: visual and magnified inspection, refractive and specific gravity testing where relevant, and microscopic study of internal characteristics, before any conclusion is documented.
Every stone that enters our lab is handled through the same disciplined sequence.
The stone is logged, weighed and measured, and its condition noted before examination begins.
Gemological testing and microscopic study are carried out to determine identity and treatment.
Findings are documented in a lab report, issued under the examiner's verification.
