International Gemological Information, a division of IGI, was established in New York in 1981, as a source for unbiased appraisals of gems and jewelry.
IGI is totally independent of all commercial sales organizations and does not trade in diamonds or precious stones. Thus, IGI is able to provide objective and accurate appraisals and identification reports, as well as appraisal updates and estimates in case of damage.
These monetary valuations are based on a constant surveillance of current retail prices through the use of a computerized network. This network monitors a cross section of the pricing structure throughout the world by means of national and international surveys.
