Jeweler at Seth Murlidhar Jewellers

Remaining of previous Article ---- Contd. As I stated before the precious gems without any inclusion are generally outrightly rejected and declared as synthetic by existing 99% gem testing laboratories of the world except only GIA, Gublein, AGTL.etc. These laboratories are based in European countries. There testing charge is so heavy that even most of financially sound gem dealers even escape from sending customer's specimen to the above named laboratories. On the other hand the customer having the controversial gem escapes from paying fee of this high prized laboratories and ultimately the gem is returned to customer with stamp of synthetic no matter it may be natural. Now there is an interesting fact that none of the countries of Asia and Middle East and the gem dealers of these countries go to the basic fact that Graduate Gemmologist title is a professional course designed by GIA for jewellers so that the new generation can use the vocabulary of gemology to impress their customers and sell their gems. These gemmologist are not allowed to issue certificate of authenticity of gem in between general public. So these Laboratories write several controversial terms and conditions behind their issued certificate. If a jeweller sincerely go through the controversial comments mentioned on Gem Testing Certificated issued by today's gem tester he will at once understand that the truth that the gem tester is giving it's mere opinion and nothing else. The certificate issued by a general gem tester is not the final scientific finding.
