Certification Process
At Akihiro Gems, transparency and trust are at the heart of everything we do.
Our certification process ensures that every gemstone is clearly documented, ethically sourced, and accurately represented.
Why Certification Matters
Gemstone certification provides confidence by verifying key characteristics of a gemstone.
It helps clients understand what they are purchasing and protects against misrepresentation.
Certification is especially important for high-value and rare gemstones.
What Information Is Included
Depending on the gemstone, documentation may include:
• Gemstone type and variety
• Carat weight
• Dimensions (millimetres)
• Colour and clarity description
• Cut and shape
• Treatment status
• Origin information (when applicable)
Treatment Disclosure
Some gemstones undergo treatments to enhance appearance or durability.
Common treatments include heat treatment and clarity enhancement.
At Akihiro Gems, any known treatment is fully disclosed during consultation and documentation.
We believe transparency is essential to long-term trust.
Independent Laboratory Reports
Independent gemological laboratory reports can be arranged upon request.
These reports are issued by recognised gem testing laboratories and provide impartial verification of gemstone characteristics.
Laboratory certification is optional and may depend on the gemstone type and purpose.
Consultation-Based Certification
Because gemstones vary greatly in size, quality, and rarity, certification requirements differ.
We discuss certification options with each client to ensure appropriate documentation is provided.
Our team will guide you through the process based on your needs and preferences.
