Gemological Science International (GSI) extended its testing services for polki diamonds in finished polki diamond jewellery sets to India, Hong Kong, New York and Dubai. This service is offered to retailers and manufacturers and also to end-customers who possess finished polki jewellery sets. This is the latest in a series of services that GSI offers to the jewellery trade to address the concerns of quality grading and authenticity of polki diamonds.
The most common treatment for polki is fracture filling. Diamond experts typically employ standard examination procedures to identify fracture filling in loose polki diamonds. For instance, the use of a gem microscope would be sufficient to detect gas bubbles or the typical flash effect in the filler. GSI identifies treatments in polki diamonds and also tests the diamonds using its own proprietary grading system.
“It is important to have grading or identification done from a legitimate gemmological laboratory when purchasing polki jewellery because some polki stones could be treated. Our experienced gemmologists have come up with unparalleled methods in terms of efficiency, accuracy and safety. This has enabled us to keep our prices affordable while providing a world-class quality product,” said Mark Gershburg, CEO, GSI.
The polki jewellery authentication report issued by GSI provides identification and testing analysis to enable the customer to buy a piece of jewellery with confidence. The authenticity of these reports can be verified by scanning the QR Code and sending it to GSI online.
