GEM IDENTIFICATION

 

ACCURATELY IDENTIFYING THE SPECIES, VARIETY AND/ OR GROUP OF A GEMSTONE IS CRUCIAL IN ORDER TO APPRAISE IT.  WITH NEW TECHNOLOGIES CONTINUALLY BEING DEVELOPED AND APPLIED TO ALTER AND TREAT GEMSTONES, IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT.  THE GEM IDENTIFICATION REPORT STATES WHETHER THE GEMSTONE IS NATURAL, SYNTHETIC, AND WHETHER IT HAS BEEN ENHANCED OR TREATED.  IT IS ACCOMPANIED BY A PHOTOGRAPH AND DATA DESCRIBING IT'S CHARACTERISTICS, WEIGHT AND MEASUREMENTS WITH GRADING.
