Gemstone REPORTS at GLA

When assessing the value of gemstones, the main thing is to find artificial enhancements that have a significant impact on the value of the stones.

Artificial Treatment of Gemstones

The advance in technology in the past years and decades has been enormous. Today gems can be treated with a series of synthetic enhancements that influence their market value. To establish their value we need to analyse whether they have been enhanced and which treatments they have been subject to.

Possible enhancements by:

  • irradiation

  • surface coating

  • bleaching

  • fracture filling

  • impregnation

  • and many more
