The Institute started coloured stone reporting more than 75 years ago, and, since then, researchers and gemmologists across our laboratories have developed an industry-leading knowledge. This expertise, as well as GIA\u2019s decades-long commitment to research, underpin our report results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GIA will also revise the weight categories and related fees for coloured stone submissions. Details of the new weight and fee structure will be available on GIA.edu on 1<sup>st<\/sup> January 2026.
