Reach out for research inquiries and collaboration. At Ann Gems Gemstone Research Institute, we combine precision, innovation and scientific care to deliver results you can trust.
We study the formation, structure and properties of natural gemstones, including diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald and other coloured stones, using established gemological and spectroscopic methods.
Our work covers diamond and the major coloured stones, together with rarer species such as tanzanite and copper-bearing tourmaline. The Gemstones section describes each in more detail.
No. The examination methods we rely on are non-destructive, so stones are returned exactly as they were received.
