ICA GemLab service
ICA GemLab Monograph
A bespoke, approximately 6,000-word hardback publication devoted to the story, gemmology and significance of an exceptional gemstone or jewel.
Usually 3–6 weeks. Turnaround begins on the first business day after receipt, acceptance and registration in Bangkok. Final scope and fee depend on the material, condition and analyses accepted.
Submission & shipping requirementsWhat this service provides

Before shipping, provide the material, approximate carat weight, loose or mounted condition and required documentation. The laboratory will confirm specimen suitability, turnaround and fee before proceeding.
- Independent gemmological examination
