Gemological Science International (GSI) launched a new laboratory in Bangkok, marking its 14th facility worldwide. Situated in the city’s gem and jewellery district, the new lab is set to serve both domestic and international clients.
The GSI Thailand lab offers a comprehensive range of services, including the testing, grading, and certification of coloured gemstones, natural and lab-grown diamonds, finished jewellery, and pearls. A key focus will be the screening and detection of undisclosed lab-grown diamonds and simulants.
Debbie Azar, President, GSI, commented, “Our mission is to continue expanding our laboratories to serve the evolving needs of the industry while reinforcing trust through objective, science-backed gemmological services. Bangkok has long been a global epicentre for coloured gemstone trading, and it’s essential for GSI to have a strong presence here — close to where our clients operate.”
