These booths provided information on Guild’s innovative testing practices, illustrated its international services, and developed direct contact with both traders and buyers.

On-site Laboratory: GUILD had arranged for an on-site, fully equipped laboratory at the venue itself. The purpose was to offer scientifically advanced gem testing services on-site, which allowed the participants to identify the authenticity, quality, and origin of the various types of gems being traded. In fact, such a lab contributed much to the success of the fair by instilling confidence in the transaction through transparent means, thereby commanding the confidence of not only the domestic but also the international stakeholder.

Andrew Lucas, a key figure at GUILD, emphasized the laboratory’s focus on quality and trust, especially for those new to colored gemstones. He highlighted the importance of confidence and assurance in the trade, stating, “Many are new to colored gemstones, which is why we need confidence and assurance. GUILD, being a scientific lab, can provide that, from source to the entire supply chain.”

He pointed out the increasing demand for accurate and accessible information about gemstones and how GUILD addresses this need by training retailers, broadcasters, and consumers alike. By equipping industry professionals with the knowledge to educate end-users, GUILD ensures that consumers make informed decisions.
