A Gem Testing Laboratory was set up in Mumbai– the hub of coloured gemstones, by GIE Labs in 1991, with the objective of supporting the gem & jewellery industry through technological back-up. Since then GIE Labs has provided gemmological services to both domestic as well as overseas clients. Taking this legacy into the future, GIE Labs is now merged with the Gemmological Institute – Gem Testing Laboratory, Delhi – another laboratory set-up in Hong Kong.
