How is gemmological examination carried out in the Moscow Gemological Center?

Gemological examination in the laboratory of MGC is carried out in the presence of the client. Clients of the laboratory are accepted by appointment, during which the client is given a certain time in accordance with the volume of the proposed work.

The examination is carried out on a collegial basis in accordance with the regulations and methods of work approved in our organization.

The examination procedure is based on the principle
"From simple to complex"

First, a preliminary examination of the product, insert or stone, then - weighing, measuring, describing the appearance.

Next, tests and definitions are made with the help of the simplest gemological instruments - testers and detectors, and only after that they are studied using more sophisticated gemological equipment (optical, spectral and other types).

After conducting a diagnostic study, the qualitative parameters of the gemstone are classified. At the same time, experts carry out all the work independently of each other. And only in case of discrepancies in particular results, additional experts are involved.

The results of the examination are drawn up in accordance with the approved standards of the organization, which take into account the domestic and international practice of diagnostic and classification examinations.
