Fees and turnaround. The laboratory’s fee schedule is provided to trade clients at account opening, with pricing by report type and carat weight. To request the current schedule, contact the laboratory.
Gemstone identification begins where diamond grading does: with instruments. Species and variety are confirmed by measurement, treatments are disclosed, and color is described against reference sets under controlled illumination.
Where the science supports an opinion on geographic origin, the report states one, together with its confidence level. Where it does not, the report says so.
Grading a mounted stone honestly means saying what a mounting hides. Where a setting limits examination, the report says so in plain language. Weights are stated as calculated, and grades carry the industry-standard qualification that they were assessed as the mounting permits.
We would rather issue a precise report with stated limits than an exact-sounding one that cannot be defended.
Turnaround. Standard service runs two to five business days by report type, as listed in the fee schedule. Expedited next-business-day service is available for trade accounts. Goods received before 11:00 AM enter intake the same business day.
Tell us about your goods and what you need documented. We respond within one business day.
