The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) will enhance its emerald reports by offering optional filler identification beginning 15 December 2024. This addition responds to growing industry demand for more detailed information on fillers used in emerald treatments.
The new service, initially available at no extra cost, will provide specific details about the type of filler used in the emerald. This marks a return to a feature GIA offered over 20 years ago, which was later adjusted to focus on the degree of filling due to the variable nature of fillers.
“GIA is making this change in response to market needs,” said Tom Moses, GIA Executive Vice President and Chief Laboratory & Research Officer. “As concerns regarding the degree and composition of filler in emeralds have evolved, we have adapted our reports to reflect these changes.”
In addition to the standard emerald identification and assessment of the degree of filling, clients can now opt for the new filler identification service. If filler is detected, the report will specify one of the following categories:
· Filler Type A: May include oil, wax, and/or natural resin
· Filler Type B: Artificial resin
· Filler material cannot be identified at this time
