There are many gemmological laboratories around the world, including the American GIA laboratory, the Belgian HRD laboratory and the international IGI laboratory. In France, there are two recognized gemmological laboratories, Laboratoire Français de Gemmologie (LFG) and Carat Gem Lab (CGL).
The French Gemological Laboratory is the leading gemmology laboratory in France. It is the world's oldest laboratory still in operation. Founded in 1929 by the Chambre Syndicale du Diamant, it has been part of Union BJOP (the French Union of Jewellery, Goldsmiths, Stones and Pearls) since 2011.
LFG offers analysis of gems, diamonds, pearls and colored stones. ISO 9001 certified and RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council), it is renowned for the quality of its analyses. Indeed, it is the only laboratory in France to offer scientifically-based analyses. During the gem analysis process, numerous experts are involved to guarantee the objectivity and reliability of the analysis report. Gem analysis results in an internationally recognized authenticity report, as well as an identification report. The LFG publishes over 5,000 analysis reports every year!
As the world's oldest gemmological laboratory, the LFG boasts an impressive gem library, enabling it to further enhance the reliability of its analyses, as well as state-of-the-art equipment and techniques.
Carat Gem Lab is an independent laboratory that was founded in 2009 by Dr. Eric Erel, who previously worked at the gemmology laboratory EGL in Vancouver and the Gubelin laboratory in Lucerne, Switzerland. Like LFGCGL offers expert appraisals of diamonds and gems, whether of natural or synthetic origin. At the end of each analysis, a report is issued that can be useful to the gem owner for insurance purposes or resale of the stone. CGL analysis reports are renowned for their precision, detail and clarity.
The Carat Gem Lab also carries out research to keep abreast of the latest developments in gemological expertise. It collaborates with international research groups and publishes the results of its research in specialized journals available not only in Europe, but also in the USA and Asia. He also offers gemmological training courses for jewelers and their employees.
