To ensure our members practice the highest standard of gemology, the society has at its disposal the Labtrade Gemological Laboratory. Members who send their loose diamonds, gemstones and jewelry pieces to Labtrade for grading and analysis represent vendors from every sector of the jewelry business, including retail jewelers , diamond brokers, pawnbrokers and internet sellers. Their common link is the desire to establish and maintain the highest level of confidence from their own customers.
