IIGJ Lab is committed to serve the Gem & Jewellery Industry by providing independent quality assessment of Gemstones & Jewellery. IIGJ’s Emerald Identification service is well known and is availed by gemstone manufacturers, traders, and retailers. IIGJ Lab has made changes to the Emerald Identification Service to align with global standards. The updated service is applicable only for single stone certification, and is divided into two parts, as given below.

Primary Service

Primary Service is to identify and report presence or absence of clarity enhancement, as applicable. The report will also include extent of the filler material i.e., minor, moderate or significant.

Advance Service

The Advance Service report will mention if clarity enhancement is detected, assessment of the extent and the type of filler material, such as oil or resin.

Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC said, “Jaipur stands as a vital hub for emerald imports, cutting, polishing, and exports, integral to India’s gemstone industry. With this enhanced Emerald Identification Service, aligned with global standards, we are empowering the colour stone sector to confidently present and trade their stones. GJEPC is committed to continuously investing in our lab infrastructure and expanding capacity, ensuring we meet the evolving needs of the industry with the highest quality and credibility.”
