What International Gemological Institute does

Certifies and grades diamonds, gemstones and jewelry for authenticity and quality, mainly for Indian and global trade.

Charges a fee for each stone or jewellery piece it grades and certifies, with the report acting as a document that buyer and seller both trust, so income follows the volume of gems passing through the trade, including fast-growing lab-grown diamonds.

In one line: India's GIA.
