GemLab India, an internationally recognised organisation specialising in diamonds, jewellery and coloured gemstones, inaugurated its new gemological laboratory in Surat.
The inauguration marks ICA | GemLab’s entry into the Indian subcontinent, bringing its services to one of the world’s major hubs for diamond processing and jewellery trade. It is also a significant step in the organisation’s global expansion.
The laboratory will provide testing and reporting services for diamonds, coloured gemstones and jewellery. Its services will include identifying whether the diamonds are natural or synthetic. The facility will follow the reporting standards and professional practices adopted across the ICA | GemLab group.
Milan Shah, Co-founder of Kalamandir Jewellers, was the chief guest at the inauguration. Amira Hatta, Managing Director of ICA | GemLab Global, and Dr. Dietmar Schwarz, Chief Research Scientist at ICA | GemLab Global, were the guests of honour.
Amira Hatta said, “India is one of the most important markets in the global gems and jewellery industry. Establishing a laboratory in Surat allows us to serve this market directly and bring our analytical capabilities closer to businesses across the jewellery supply chain.”
ICA | GemLab India said, “Surat is the world’s largest centre for diamond policing, making it an important location for our laboratory. We aim to provide manufacturers, retailers, jewellery brands, designers and consumers with reliable gemological information through established testing methods and reporting standards, helping them make informed decisions.”
Its presence in Surat brings these services closer to manufacturers and traders and makes gemological reports accessible to the industry.
Headquartered in Bangkok, ICA | GemLab is an independent gemological laboratory specialising in diamonds, coloured gemstones and jewellery. It is affiliated with the International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA), a trade body representing the coloured gemstone industry.
