Identification The Gemesis Corporation through the International Gemological Institute (IGI) has initiated the first-ever program to assist retail jewelers, designers and consumers to clearly identify laboratory-created diamonds. IGI is providing laser inscriptions and identification reports for all Gemesis-created diamonds weighing 0.25 carats and above. IGI will laser inscribe each Gemesis-created diamond using its patented LaserscribeSM process. The term "Gemesis created" will appear on the stone's girdle along with a serial number that is subsequently stored in IGI's database and matches the Institute's identification report number. In order to differentiate Gemesis-created diamonds, IGI has also developed a "lab-created" specific identification report for Gemesis, which includes cut, dimensions, weight, and a photo illustration. For more information on the International Gemological Institute, visit www.igiworldwide.com. Certification Gemesis Cultured Diamonds are individually grown in our laboratory facility. Each Gemesis diamond is unique; each can be certified for its cut, color and quality just like it�s earth mined counterpart. Consequently, Gemesis diamonds are certifiable by the major gemological institutes, such as the European Gemological Laboratory (https://www.eglusa.com). Gemesis continually works with diamond industry laboratories and institutes to provide consumers with complete disclosure regarding the quality and origin of Gemesis-created diamonds. We are currently exploring additional means to mark our diamonds in conjunction with certification in order to ensure the consumer that they are purchasing a high-quality Gemesis Cultured Diamond.

Similar to cultured pearls, Gemesis Cultured Diamonds begin their growth with a tiny diamond seed. Gemesis then recreates the proper combination of high temperature and high-pressure that nature uses to form a diamond and steps aside to let the natural diamond growth take place in individual diamond growth chambers. Once each individual diamond is grown by Gemesis; it follows the same process of cutting and polishing as any other diamond, which can then be placed into jewelry. Gemesis Cultured Diamonds possess the same hardness, brilliance, and "fire" of earth-grown diamonds. "We believe Gemesis Cultured Diamonds will sweep the Canadian market because it gives customers and retailers a chance to experience the beauty of yellow diamonds in designs that would otherwise be unattainable with mined yellow diamonds said Michael Drechsler, owner of Michael Drechsler Jewelry Ltd."
