AGL provides independent colored gemstone identification reports on emeralds, rubies & sapphires and other alternative gemstones.

Customer Confidence. Standard With Every Gemstone

Customers are savvier than ever. Especially in the area of fashion. Whether they’re looking to buy a ruby necklace, a high-end purse, a name-brand scarf or expensive Italian shoes, they want the confidence that the item they’re looking at is genuine and properly represented. Specifically, when it comes to fashion jewelry, because of the influence of diamonds, customers have come to expect third-party assurance and documentation.

Until now, providing third-party assurance on colored gemstones was not economical, creating a “confidence gap” between what the customer wanted and what was available.

Market Momentum Increased With Every Presentation

Well, now you can give your customers the confidence they desire – with affordable third-party certification from American Gemological Laboratories. Take care of their objections right from the start, and meet their expectations. Not only will certification give your customers assurance; it will increase your opportunity to explain the benefits of colored gemstone fashion jewelry, enhance your differentiation and take the market momentum from other competing fashion items.

Compliant Disclosure With Every Sale

Since 1959, the Federal Trade Commission has required disclosure of gemstone alteration and enhancements. On top of that, many states have incorporated these requirements into their consumer protection laws.

Now, with this affordable colored-gemstone certification, each certificate already includes the required FTC disclosure so that you can easily provide the appropriate language on enhancements and avoid any possible scrutiny or controversy. Just the confidence your customer wants.
