Led by industry expert Meenu Vyas, FGA, the facility in Jaipur, India, will offer all of GSI’s core services, as well as a dedicated division specializing in coloured gemstone geographical origin and identification.
“We are thrilled to continue GSI’s global expansion and open another laboratory in India,” says the organization’s president and co-founder, Debbie Azar. “The demand for GSI certification and origin testing for natural and lab-grown diamonds, as well as coloured gemstones, continues to grow and the Jaipur lab will help us meet that global need.”
