Gemological Institute (IGI) has now developed
into the largest independent gem certification and appraisal institute renowned
for its quality services, extensive experience and know-how. IGI, the oldest institute
of its kind in Antwerp, was set up in 1975 and along with its sister laboratory
in New York, is one of the leading gemological institutions in the world. Today,
a staff of just 3 has grown to over 250 professionals dedicated to a standard
of excellence second to none in Antwerp, New York, Bangkok, Mumbai and Tokyo.
Today IGI issues more than 400.000 reports a year.
Thousands of jewellers,
retail stores, insurance companies, internet sales organizations, catalogue companies
(mail order), accounting and securities firms and consumers are relying on the
IGI reports.
International gemological Information, a division of IGI,
was established in New York in 1981, as a source for unbiased appraisals of gems
and jewelry. Like its parent company, IGI Information is totally independent of
all commercial sales organizations and does not trade in diamonds or precious
stones. Thus, IGI Information is able to provide objective and accurate appraisals
and identification reports, as well as appraisal updates and estimates in case
of damage.
