Reviews
"Well I am a graduate jeweler and gemologist the gem institute is the best in the world common knowledge but the gem trade laboratory needs a lot of help poorly run sent my portable laboratory in for repair paid high price and it was poor workmanship and still didn’t work it was definitely not what I expected from the premier gem lab in the country/world sincerely John C Simmons IIG.G.J"
"BAD EXPERIENCE. My platinum necklace was sold on ebay and sent to GIA for authentication. It failed authentication due to incorrect diamond weight even it was authenticated at Mayors by a 30 years experienced appraiser. GIA can't say what actual diamond weight it is but can say it is incorrect, what a joke ...."
"Sent 2 Rings for authentication, they lost one after being in their possession for 4 days! I was told to seek insurance but usps will not pay for theft after delivery. There is no evidence of any tampered package per usps. Postal inspector mentioned this is becoming common with this location. I searched on Google and found on reddit an ebay community forums lots of similar issues. They will steal from you and there is no recourse! Tampered packages are labeled so on tracking with a red label also on the box. Per the inspectors there were no issues with my package and it was marked delivered to individual at this GIA location. Police, FBI, ic3, and usps Postal criminal investigation unit were notified. Case is ongoing. Will be pursuing this with all my being. Hopefully this is a warning to others."
"Had a great time there. I learned so much. The teachers and leaders were fantastic. I'm glad I was able to take a tour to see it all. Thank you for the hospitality."
"We came here for a school field trip. This is a school and the world headquarters for the Gemological Institute. Tight security. You have to have an appointment for tours. Amazing collection of gems and geodes. The class the kids had was amazing and so full of great info. Hands on experiments and fun take home stuff. If you are a school or homeschool group call and make a reservation!"
