IGI - the International Gemological Institute- has since long been a household name among jewellery retailers around the world.

Today, it is difficult to find a reputable jeweller who has not sold a diamond accompanied by an IGI’s diamond grading report, coloured stones that carried a coloured stone identification report and/or a gem-set jewellery piece that came with an IGI jewellery certificate.

IGI is therefore very pleased to invite visitors to the Antwerp Diamond Trade Fair to take an exclusive peek at the IGI ’back office’ i.e. the diamond, gem and jewellery grading operations and gain a better understanding of the processes that result in an IGI diamond, gem and jewellery grading report.

To coordinate your visit, please register at the IGI booth once you have completed your registration for the fair itself. We look forward to welcoming you to Antwerp, to the fair and to IGI!

IGI is the largest global gemological organization of its kind, with offices in Antwerp, New York, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Bangkok, Tokyo, Dubai, Tel Aviv, Cavalese, Toronto, Los Angeles, Kolkata, New Delhi, Thrissur, Surat, Chennai and Shanghai . The IGI School of Gemology operates from Antwerp, Mumbai, Dubai and Cavalese, offering a variety of courses designed for professionals and consumer enthusiasts alike.
