Apt identification and thorough evaluation of precious and semi-precious gemstones make it convenient for the buyers and sellers to agree upon a business deal which is just, transparent and free of inaccuracy. Modern machinery and state-of-the-art technology can be used to get the best assessment of a gemstone. However, high prices and maintenance cost associated with the machinery makes it difficult for an average worker to afford it. Absence of Gem Identification Lab, on the other hand, limits the understanding of gemstones and subsequently leads to the underselling of precious stones.
Five full-fledged and well-equipped Gem Identification Labs are operational in the vicinities of Gem and Jewellery Training and Manufacturing Centers of Karachi, Lahore and Gilgit, and Gem Exchanges of Peshawar and Quetta. These Gem Identification Labs provide the facilities of gemstone testing and diamond grading. In these Gem Identification Labs, diamonds and other precious and semi-precious stones are examined according to their colour, shape, cutting style, weight, measurements, etc. Reports are generated and certificates are issued to the customers of these Gem Labs. PGJDC’s Gem Identification Labs are designed to provide the following benefits:
Testing and Identification of Gemstones
Issuance of Reports and Certificates
Introduction of latest techniques, tools and equipments for gemstone identification
Awareness about the technology
