GIA making changes to coloured stone and pearl report, ‘Report Check’

by eyetee | January 30, 2015 8:00 pm

Gemological Institute of America (GIA) will begin issuing revised coloured stone and pearl reports, as well as launch ‘Report Check’ enhancements.

Effective Feb. 1, the revised reports feature improved gemstone images and language reflecting the most current gemmological terminology. Report Check for coloured stones and pearls will feature a new treatments tab, providing consumer-friendly gemmological information using text, graphics, and images about any treatments detected.

Enhancements to Report Check include:

• The coloured stone and pearl reports take the viewer directly to a treatments tab if relevant, providing additional gemmological information about any treatments an item has undergone; the report data is included in an additional tab. This is available for stones evaluated on or after Feb. 1. The image of the item will now be included with the data on Report Check.

• Diamond reports in Report Check feature plots and proportion diagrams when available for reports issued on or after Jan. 1, 2014.

The revisions to coloured stone and pearl reports are:

• A layout in portrait orientation;

• A new paper will now be used for coloured stones and pearls to support higher-quality photo images; and

• There will now be one form—a Gemmological Report—used for coloured stones and pearls.
