Report Types

Identification & Grading

GIS laboratory reports are designed to provide clear, science-based information about the identity, characteristics and quality of submitted gem materials.

01 / IDENTIFICATION

Identification Report

Designed to establish the identity and key gemological characteristics of a submitted gemstone or crystal material.

  • Gem material identification
  • Species and variety, where applicable
  • Natural or laboratory-grown determination, where applicable
  • Detectable treatments or enhancements
  • Weight, dimensions and basic observations
  • Unique GIS report number
  • Online report verification
02 / GRADING

Grading Report

Combines gemstone identification with a structured assessment of relevant quality characteristics according to the type of material submitted.

  • Identification information
  • Color assessment
  • Clarity assessment, where applicable
  • Cut and proportion assessment, where applicable
  • Carat weight and measurements
  • Additional laboratory observations
  • Online report verification
Analytical Science

Laboratory Analysis

Modern gemological analysis combines traditional observation with instrumental techniques to investigate composition, structure and optical properties.

SPECTROSCOPY

Spectroscopic Analysis

Spectroscopic methods support gemstone identification, characterization and the investigation of color, treatments and structural features.

CHEMISTRY

Elemental Analysis

Major, minor and trace-element information provides valuable insight into gemstone chemistry, material characteristics and formation.

STRUCTURE

Crystal Characterization

Crystal structure, morphology and material properties are evaluated to support identification and scientific characterization.

MICROSCOPY

Microscopic Examination

Internal and surface features are examined to evaluate inclusions, growth structures and other diagnostic characteristics.

Laboratory Process

From Submission to Verification

Each submission follows a structured laboratory process designed to support consistent, transparent and impartial reporting.

STEP 01

Submit

The gemstone, jewelry item or crystal material is received and registered for laboratory examination.

STEP 02

Analyze

Gemological and analytical testing is performed according to the material and report requirements.

STEP 03

Report

Laboratory observations and conclusions are documented in the corresponding GIS report.

STEP 04

Verify

Report information can be checked through the GIS online verification system.

Our Approach

Science, Precision & Integrity

Science-Based

Laboratory conclusions are based on gemological observation, analytical data and established scientific principles.

Impartial

Natural, laboratory-grown and other gem materials are evaluated according to their observable and measurable characteristics.

Transparent

GIS reports are designed to communicate laboratory findings clearly and can be verified through the online report database.
