At Gemological Research Laboratories, we believe that trust is the cornerstone of the global gemstone and jewelry market—yet it has historically been in short supply across the Middle East and North Africa. Recognizing this gap, we established our lab in the heart of a Beirut’s manufacturing hub, setting out to deliver world-class gemological services that were previously unavailable in the region.
Our mission is simple yet transformative: we empower jewelers, collectors, manufacturers, and clients to make informed decisions.
Our team’s collective expertise spans decades of hands-on experience in gemstone identification, grading, and valuation. With over 40 years in the trade, our founders have earned an impeccable reputation that speaks volumes about their credibility, precision, and unwavering standards. Our gemologists—hailing from Thailand, Lebanon, Canada, and Armenia—bring a uniquely diverse perspective, fortified by backgrounds in geology, earth chemistry, and scientific gemology. This exceptional blend of global talent allows us to deliver reports that consistently meet the highest benchmarks of accuracy, reliability, and industry best practices.
At Gemological Research Laboratories, we prioritize truth over convenience. Every certificate we issue is anchored by rigorous scientific evaluation and unshakeable ethics. We provide a seal of excellence that aligns us with international standards and cements our role as the premier gemological laboratory across the Middle East and North Africa. We are committed to fostering an environment of trust and knowledge, ensuring that each gem entrusted to us is assessed with uncompromising integrity.
