GECI Lab Says New Challenges Require Highest-Possible Service

(IDEX Online) – The GECI Laboratory, based in Italy, says that the new challenges facing the diamond industry demand that diamantaires look for the best possible service from the labs with which they do business.

"The world of gemstones is evolving with growing market challenges for the jewelry industry: new and improving treatments of natural diamonds and colored gemstones, along with substantial results in the creation of synthetic diamonds force the industry to reach out to a proficient gemological laboratory and to deepen one’s gemological knowledge, because only both expertise and steady updating can provide the right answers to the final consumer," GECI said in a statement.

"GECI Laboratory was launched with the aim of offering complete reliability and professionalism in the field of identification and grading of diamonds, colored gemstones and pearls. It is an independent and impartial entity and so are the evaluations stated in the reports; evaluations made strictly in line with the global gemological standards (International Diamond Grading System ®) and in compliance with national and international regulations. Each Report is written in English and has identification and safety codes that make every single one unique and inimitable.

"GECI Lab is equipped with the highest level of gemological instruments and it has four different areas of analysis: diamonds, colored stones, pearls and jewels. Besides, it has a wide range of services created to meet every customers’ need, such as Diamond Grading Report, Diamond Type Report, Blister and Laser Inscription on the girdle, as for diamonds, or Colored Stone Grading Report and Origin Opinion, as for colored gemstones. All laboratory services are aimed at both final consumers and trade, always in full respect of the customers' privacy.

"Furthermore, the in-depth education is one of the levers of success needed to make the difference, allowing the Institute to offer customers a significant added value: confidence in their purchase. GECI educational philosophy comes from the knowledge of the professors, daily enriched by the experience of the laboratory and research: the educational programs are developed according to the latest news in academia and gemological research, all supported by innovative technologies."

GECI President Alberto Osimo said: "I have gained a lot from this world and now the idea that my Institute can give back the same opportunity to hundreds or thousands of people coming from all countries to study gemology fills me with joy and makes me feel as a player of the relaunch of the Gemological world. I firmly believe in this world, just as I strongly believe in certification, but in a serious, objective and not subjective certification through innovative technology and instruments and a team of highly qualified gemologists in order to protect the final consumer; just as I believe in marketing, developed by persons of the highest profile and professionalism.”
