Lucerne— Gübelin Gem Lab has launched a new service, the Gem Passport, powered by its deep-learning software Gemtelligence™. This service aims to provide reliable gemmological reports at an attractive price, catering to the trade’s need for cost-effective gemstone certification.
Introducing the Gem Passport
The Gem Passport is designed to offer essential identification features of gemstones, including species, variety, country of origin, and a simplified disclosure of treatment status. The use of artificial intelligence allows for a streamlined testing process, particularly reducing the time required for microscopic assessments, thus lowering costs.
Service Specifications
Gem Passports are available for unmounted rubies, blue sapphires, and emeralds up to 3.00 carats. Priced at CHF 200 (USD 215), this service targets smaller-sized or moderate-value gemstones, making high-quality gemmological documentation more accessible. Unlike traditional reports, Gem Passports do not include quality or rarity assessments, trade color calls, appendices, info sheets, or rating documents.
Innovative and Practical
Daniel Nyfeler, Managing Director of Gübelin Gem Lab, emphasized the service’s benefits: “We believe that the Gem Passport is a highly attractive and affordable service for stones which so far were not accompanied by a testing document from a globally respected lab, giving peace of mind also to brands and retailers.”
Raphael Gübelin, President of the House of Gübelin, highlighted the lab’s commitment to innovation: “The Gem Passport demonstrates our striving for innovation and expresses our pioneering spirit. We want to contribute and support the industry, making gemmological documents for smaller stones affordable that were often not in the scope so far. Gem Passports are the next step following Gemtelligence. They are an addition to our range of services and are an attractive solution to accompany gems of more moderate value.”
The Gem Passport service is available at all Gübelin Gem Lab locations, providing a practical and cost-effective solution for the gem trade, jewelry brands, and retailers.
