What is Gem Certification?
Gem Certification is a way to evaluate and authenticate a piece of stone or gem on the basis of different pre-defined quality parameters. These parameters are established by gemstone industry in order to determine the quality, origin, variety & species of various gemstones.
A Gemstone expert or gemologist is appointed to examine precisely the stone or gem’s quality and other minor details. Then he issues a detailed report based on the test conducted on the Gemstone. This report is referred as certification or authentication report. A gemstone certification report incorporates all measurements and test conducted on a gemstone by a gemologist to certify.
