Showcasing trusted certification, natural diamond storytelling, educational outreach, and advanced grading reports, the lab reinforced leadership across India’s jewellery ecosystem
Gemological Science International (GSI), a global leader in gemological certification, reinforced its position as the trusted laboratory partner for India’s jewellery supply chain at IIJS Premiere 2025, held at the Nesco Exhibition Centre, Mumbai.
With a steady stream of manufacturers, retailers, and design houses visiting its booth, GSI showcased its unwavering commitment to innovation, education, and consumer confidence.
A standout highlight was GSI’s curated storytelling on natural diamonds, presented through mounted artworks depicting the legacy, heritage, and rarity of natural diamonds. “GSI’s curated storytelling on natural diamonds transforms the way we engage with customers. It allows us to convey not just the science, but the heart behind each diamond,” said Biren Vaidya, The House of Rose. “This is invaluable in building trust and deepening customer relationships.”


“GSI’s Natural Diamond campaign and storytelling initiative is perfectly timed,” added Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, PNG Jewellers. “It empowers brands to move beyond just selling a product and start sharing the story of natural diamond’s authenticity and lasting value.”
At the heart of the showcase was the GSI Assured Jeweller Certificate, awarded to leading jewellery brands that have demonstrated excellence in quality and craftsmanship. “We’re thrilled to receive this honour from GSI, a global jewelry certification lab,” said Abhiyant Raniwala, Royal Rising Jewels by Raniwala. “This certification is a reflection of the excellence we are committed to achieve in our work.”


“With a legacy of excellence, we’ve always upheld the highest standards of quality, transparency, and authenticity,” said Ashraf Motiwala, A S Motiwala. “This prestigious recognition from GSI lab New York validates our commitment to unmatched craftsmanship.”
GSI’s proprietary Light Performance Reports and Hearts & Arrows Reports attracted significant attention, underscoring the lab’s role in helping retailers unlock greater value for the finest cut solitaire diamonds.
In addition, GSI’s educational division sparked conversations across the supply chain, with strong interest in certified training programs designed to upskill the next generation in gemstone grading and retail excellence.
“It’s deeply encouraging to witness such progressive thinking from our partners… GSI will continue to lead with purpose,” said Ramit Kapur, Managing Director, GSI.
