Modern Standards
For centuries, gemstones have been viewed as treasures and stores of value. In virtually every global market, craftsmen have determined the value of precious gems using keen eyes and locally accepted techniques.
However, the modern jewellery industry demands higher and more uniform standards. One mark of sophisticated jewellery retailing is the use of SKUs to set specifications and standards for each item sold. Every component of a SKU must meet content, size and quality standards to be accepted into the retail supply chain. GSI utilizes SKU technology in its operations in all its offices.
Likewise, light performance evaluation of diamonds can enhance traditional grading techniques that measure the "4C's" - carat weight, color, clarity and cut.
GSI is helping to bring modern standards to this craft and turn it into a profession by developing scientific, repeatable techniques. This means that grading in all GSI offices is consistent.
GSI's standards for gem grading help to promote jewellery employment and commerce worldwide. These standards increase the trust of merchants and consumers that gemstones have a recognized, transferable value in international commerce.
The Mumbai Lab of GSI is staffed with graders with experience in the U.S and Indian markets. Using proprietary software, our New York headquarters staff monitors all work performed everywhere.
