Sarine launches Gem Certification & Assurance Lab in Surat

Sarine Technologies Limited has launched a Gem Certification & Assurance Lab in diamond hub Surat. The dedicated diamond grading centre is designed to harness technology to offer swift and cost effective services for Indian businesses working with diamonds. 

“We are delighted to expand our activities into India and we believe the timing is opportune,” said GCAL’s president Angelo Palmieri, the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council reported on its website. “Our merger with Sarine leverages the synergy of top-notch gemmology and cutting-edge technology, enabling us to enhance our service efficiency for customers while maintaining our renowned commitment to quality. The New York [US] lab continues to offer all grading services in the U.S. along with expanding into additional related activities.”
 
The lab utilises Sarine’s AI-based grading technologies and taps into its preexisting customer base in India. GCAL brings its internationally recognised name and US customer base to the partnership.

“We are dedicated to leading the way into a new era of diamond certification – one that relies increasingly on technology,” said David Block, CEO of Sarine. “This approach ensures the highest level of grading while introducing unprecedented efficiency. Throughout the establishment process of the Surat lab over the past months, I have been, once again, impressed by the professionalism and integrity of GCAL. I have full confidence in our partnership and our ability together to take the certification market to new levels of quality and service.”
