There is no easy way for the novice buyer to detect these, except for an authentic gemstone lab certification. GemPundit provides a free lab certification which is ISO and govt. certified, regardless of the cost of the gemstone from third-party external labs. You will receive a free lab certificate, even if your gemstone is for INR 100 ($ 1.5) or for INR 1 Million ($ 13450). You should never buy a gemstone without a lab certifying its composition, treatments, and origin.

  •  How can I tell if a gemstone is real or fake?

    The authenticity of a gemstone can only be identified by a renowned Gem Testing Laboratory. One can consider an expert gemologist for primary consultation but must always rely on the Gem Lab Certificate issued by a trusted Gem Testing Lab. The certificate from the Gemstone Laboratory ensures and lists vital descriptions about the gemstone that will offer great assurance to the buyers. It helps to avoid the chances of getting duped by purchasing fake gemstones. At GemPundit, we give our consumers the advantage of certainty by providing authentic IGI, GIA, GRS, GII, etc. gemstone certificates with every purchase.

Similarly, orders including paid certificates (such as GTL, IGI, IGI-GTL) or Pooja energization services are also customized orders.
