The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) will introduce its ‘Finished Jewellery Report’ service in India starting this August, aiming to enhance transparency and build consumer trust in the jewellery market. The report will offer detailed information on each jewellery piece, including metal type, gemstone characteristics, and any engravings.

This initiative, already active in established markets like the United States, is part of GIA’s broader strategy to expand into high-growth regions. The organization plans to extend this service to other emerging markets, including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

“In India, technology and innovation are key areas of focus,” said Pritesh Patel, GIA’s Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, who is set to take over as President and CEO on August 4, 2025. “This new service will help increase consumer confidence by offering greater transparency.”

GIA President and CEO Susan Jacques emphasized the organization’s commitment to education and industry engagement. “With two of our largest laboratories based in India—Mumbai and Surat—we are deeply integrated into this key market,” Jacques said. She added that GIA is planning to establish a new laboratory in Surat, on land it already owns.

GIA is also collaborating with De Beers’ Tracr platform, a blockchain-based system designed to assure the authenticity and traceability of natural diamonds. India, which accounts for 11% of global diamond consumption and is a major hub for diamond manufacturing, remains a critical market for GIA’s global operations.

GIA, a leading non-profit authority in gemology, continues to uphold rigorous standards in research, education, and gemological services to support the global gems and jewellery industry.
