Gemological Reports

Most of our gemstones are accompanied by gemological reports from leading, internationally recognized gem-testing laboratories. Scans of these reports are available on the respective listing pages for your review. The original certificates are shipped with the gemstone.

If a gemstone is not already certified and you would like to request a gemological report - or if you require additional certification - please Contact Us. We’ll be happy to assist you.
