Gemological analysis laboratory since 2007
Monaco Gem Lab, a gemological analysis laboratory, was established in 2007 by Alain Caussinus, a gemmologist. It quickly built a reputation for integrity, ethics and efficiency. Its standing among the Monegasque and French public is well established today.
The laboratory has four gemmologists on its staff, two permanent members and two external consultants.
Facing a complex market where the risks of uncertainty regarding the nature of a stone or its possible treatment are significant, our laboratory does everything possible to ensure a quality technical service while integrating a consultancy dimension in our client relationships.
The presence of treated, synthetic or imitation gemstones on the market has never been stronger, and with gemstone demand continuously increasing, this situation will only worsen. In this context, buying without a certificate is synonymous with risk. Ensure the nature and condition of the gemstone you sell or purchase - this is the only way to avoid problems and disappointment.
MONACO GEM LAB issues certificates tailored to diamonds, colored gemstones and complete jewelry pieces from this perspective.
You can consult the comprehensive list of these certificates, as well as our services and specific rates.
