American Gem Society Laboratories (AGSL) is one of the leading diamond grading laboratories in the jewellery industry. The laboratory issues Diamond Quality Document (DQD), the first and only report to ever grade on diamond cut, the Diamond Quality Report (DQR) and the Diamond Consultation (DC).

Switzerland based Gübelin Gem Laboratory is one of the world's most renowned and highly recognized gemmological laboratories. The laboratory's services include gem identification and enhancement detection, diamond grading and pearl analysis. The analysis for which it is most renowned is the determination of a gemstone's provenance or origin.

The Directorate of Precious Metals & Gemstone Testing in the Kingdom of Bahrain was amongst the first to be established in the Middle East and since its establishment it has developed a positive reputation within the Middle East and beyond. Services rendered by the Directorate include serving the trade and public with their gemmological and assaying needs, overseeing the local jewellery sector to ensure that traders adhere to national and international laws and nomenclature and protecting consumers and the trade from fraud.

The creation of DGC enhances DMCC's portfolio of industry-specific market infrastructure designed for the diamond and coloured stones segments. DGC will be launched to the trade through a seminar titled 'The Importance of Certification Standards' on Dec 7 to coincide with the Dubai Watch and Jewellery Show. DGC is currently based in the Convention Tower, World Trade Centre Complex, Dubai, until such time that DMCC's towers are completed.
