The Indian Institute of Gems & Jewellery Lab (IIGJ Lab), Jaipur, a GJEPC initiative, has expanded its Origin Determination services for precious coloured gemstones, introducing certification for packet lots and bead strings of ruby, emerald, and sapphire (blue & pink).
While Origin Determination for these individual gemstones has been available at the lab for several years, the expanded service now enables gemstone manufacturers, exporters, and traders to obtain Origin Reports for larger quantities of gemstones submitted as lots or bead strings, using advanced gemmological technology and expert analysis.
The Origin Report includes gemstone identification, treatment disclosure, and geographic origin determination. This new service is expected to strengthen traceability, transparency, and value assurance in the global gemstone supply chain.
With this move, the IIGJ Jaipur Lab further strengthens its role in supporting India’s coloured gemstone sector by offering internationally recognised testing and certification services tailored to the evolving needs of the trade.
