Every day, new methods are being developed for producing high-quality gem imitations for ruby, sapphire, diamond and emerald as well as many other species. In addition to these new synthetic methods, thermal and radiation treatments created to improve a stones’ appearance, plus the discovery and characterization of synthetic and treated stones have become increasingly vital. Our ongoing efforts are the best insurance for maintaining high standards found in our internationally recognized laboratory reports, which document authenticity and origin of fine gems. Our commitment to these high standards is evidenced by our investment of much of our resources back into research.
Our research activity runs the gamut of our renowned findings of new treatment methods, diamond authentication, and actively participating in discovering new minerals. We pledge to make our results transparent to the public through works published in specialized trade journals, on the Internet and in our own publication series Contributions to Gemology. We also produce gemstone origin documentaries, and present seminars at trade shows and other industry events.
