Balzan Laboratories will prepare your Appraisals/Valuations using the highest industry standards and equipment by professionals with proper credentials.

You can count on us to:
  • Identify gemstones as natural, treated, created or synthetic using industry standards.  We can utilize advanced laboratory equipment for analysis in special cases.

  • Electronically weigh colored gems or estimate them by formula.  We can also remove gems from their mountings for actual weights upon request.

  • Electronically weigh, measure and proportion grade loose diamonds using Sarin Technologies.  We can also remove mounted diamonds from their mountings for a Sarin Technologies grading upon request.

  • Utilize Diamond Sure to aid in the separation of natural, treated, and synthetic diamonds.

  • Plot, clarity, color and proportion grade diamonds over 1/2 carat.

  • Take photographs of gems and jewelry.  We can also accept special photography requests for  special reasons.

  • Determine metal content, metal weights and total mounting weights in various measurements: carats, grams or pennyweights.

  • Compare and explain major Gemological Grading Systems.

  • Give valuation definitions along with the appropriate value and explanation of intended use for your purposes.
