About IGJI

An ISO 9001 certified gemmological laboratory dedicated to independent, accurate gem and jewellery testing.

Our Story

Independent Testing, Built on Trust

International Gem & Jewellery Illustration (IGJI) was established to give gem traders, jewellers and individual buyers in Kolkata and beyond a reliable, independent source of gemstone and jewellery certification.

As an ISO 9001 certified laboratory, we hold ourselves to a documented standard of quality management across every stage of our process - from the moment an item is received, through examination and testing, to the final certified report.

Every report we issue is uniquely numbered and paired with a QR code, so its authenticity can be confirmed by anyone, at any time, without needing to visit our lab in person.

What Guides Our Work

Independence

We have no commercial interest in the items we test - every report reflects our laboratory's independent findings alone.

Accuracy

Testing is carried out using standard gemmological instrumentation and methodology, reviewed at every stage before a report is finalised.

Transparency

Every certificate is independently, publicly verifiable online via its unique report number and QR code - nothing is hidden behind a paywall or login.
