Comprehensive set of Certification and Gemology Training courses offered

IGI (International Gemological Institute), a global authority in diamond, colored gemstone, and jewelry certification with a strong presence in India, inaugurated its second laboratory in Jaipur on January 29, 2026, further strengthening its footprint in North India. Jaipur’s long-standing legacy in colored gemstone trading, un-cut Polki, and fine jewellery craftsmanship makes it a strategic location for IGI. Sitapura, Jaipur’s recognized dedicated gems and jewellery manufacturing hub aligns with IGI’s endeavour to remain close to the trade, ensuring transparency and confidence for consumers. The strategic proximity enables faster grading turnaround times, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced service delivery. IGI’s launch in Sitapura underscores its commitment to supporting manufacturers and exporters through a stronger local presence and accessibility.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Tehmasp Printer, Managing Director & Global Chief Executive Officer, IGI, said, “At IGI, we recognised the global shift in consumer preferences early on, especially the rising demand for coloured gemstones. This surge is being driven by increasing consumer interest in unique fusion designs that combine multiple precious gemstones, personalised jewellery, and a growing appreciation for the rarity and beauty of coloured gemstones.
