3RD PARTY LAB REPORTS & CERTIFICATION
Emeralds International offers a full range of lab report services for colored gemstones and diamonds through GIA and AGL for any gems you may have that need identifying or appraising.
Because of our close relationships with reliable sources and our long experience in the emerald and conch pearl industry, we have the ability to identify and document accurately, on our state of the art receipts, our emeralds and conch pearls detailing their attributes, treatment and in most cases the origin. We also offer a detailed in house report when requested at no extra charge called an Acquisition Cost Report.
The purpose and function of the Acquisition Cost Report is to establish the customer’s replacement description and value of the merchandise (not including sales tax or shipping/handling charges) for the benefit of an insurance company in the event of a loss, theft or damage to the merchandise. It is also educative for the benefit of the customer and their ability to recognize the features inherent in their purchase from Emeralds International. Additionally, the document supports the ability of Emeralds International, to recognize a piece of jewelry previously sold by Emeralds International, and brought into our store by a customer wishing to take advantage of our liberal exchange policy, if applicable.
Emeralds International is also happy to send any of our jewelry items that you are interested in purchasing to a 3rd party lab such as GIA or AGL for an independent ID, origin and treatment report, if requested. Please note that GIA and AGL do not appraise jewelry, they are labs specializing in giving identification, treatment and origin opinions for the industry and the consumer. Please contact one of our professionals if you would prefer to have one done on an item you would like to purchase. The average turn around time for this service is approximately 1 month but can be expedited if necessary. We strive to provide the highest detail and accuracy on our designs so that you can always shop with confidence at Emeralds International.

In 2004 Manuel Marcial de Gomar, founder of Emeralds International, released his Conch Pearl Color Description Guide to the industry for gemologists, jewelers, dealers and appraisers as an aid for color descriptions for natural queen conch pearls.
