INSIGHT 精辟洞见 GEMSWORLD | 29 | 2026 All pictures from ICA GemLab 所有图片均由ICA GemLab提供 The lab mapped over 40 geographic gemstone deposits and achieved 97 per cent accuracy in origin determination of rubies using artificial intelligence (AI). Research into provenance identification of peridot and aquamarine was likewise launched in 2025, with extremely promising preliminary results. ICA GemLab is looking to unveil commercial services for these new origins in 2026 while further strengthening its gemstone treatment detection capabilities. ICA GemLab also continues to make inroads in the use of AI in gemmology. Through its technology innovation partner, GAIA Scientific, the lab has developed innovative AI systems to process gemstones. “What sets our approach apart is our use of databases that reflect natural geological overlaps, avoiding artificial separations. This enables accurate and transparent uncertainty quantification and exceptional performance in identifying rare origins,” remarked Hatta. The impact has been transformative as it created an automation framework, enabling ICA GemLab’s gemmologists to focus on complex cases while also handling routine determinations efficiently. Education is also a critical part of the lab’s growth strategy. ICA GemLab runs year-round internship programmes for students from top gemmological institutions in Thailand, including Burapha University. Participants acquire hands-on experience with advanced instrumentation and modern analytical techniques through such internships and many of them progress to leadership roles in laboratories and trading companies, according to Hatta. In this way, best practices are shared and disseminated throughout the industry. The lab is developing an advanced course for working gemmologists throughout the supply chain, with pilot programmes expected within the year. Moving forward ICA GemLab is on a growth trajectory. The lab is eyeing to expand its global reach over the next 12 to 18 months and is currently evaluating opportunities in key markets where there is solid demand for scientific certification. “We are pursuing partnerships that align with our commitment to scientific excellence and ethical practices,” Hatta shared. “We are also working on some equipment innovations that could make advanced testing more accessible. Our focus is on sustainable growth that maintains the quality and scientific rigour we are known for.” 自2016年创立以来,ICA国际有色宝石鉴定所(ICA Gemlab)在彩色宝石评估与鉴定领域取得重大突 破,运用先进技术和专用设备检测了不同种类的 宝石。ICA Gemlab执行总监Amira Hatta表示,2025年对这家 泰国实验室而言是“非凡之年”。 她向《JNA亚洲珠宝》透露:“各类宝石检测需求强劲,其 中刚玉、绿柱石、黄玉、锂辉石和水晶的表现最为优秀。我们 共处理了20余种宝石,客户对产地鉴定和加工处理检测服 务的需求相当殷切,特别是针对高价值宝石。” 其铍元素检测采用激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子体质谱法 (LA-ICP-MS)技术,该技术备受追捧。Hatta说:“全球仅有三 家实验室能提供此级别铍元素检测,而我们便是其中之一, 这正是我们的核心竞争力所在。” Hatta表示,市场日趋关注可追溯性和透明度,这预示着 市场正面临根本性的转变——奢侈品牌对经认证产地证明 的需求日增,消费者则更重视道德开采及宝石从矿场到市 场的完整溯源过程。 她补充道:“需求正从多方涌现——奢侈品牌、寻求投资 级认证文件的富裕收藏家、海关机构、专业贸易商,以及深 谙验证产地对进入高端市场至关重要的新兴矿商。” 闪耀机遇 Hatta将2025年视为ICA Gemlab的里程碑。公司取得的 成就包括与知名品牌及主要行业协会建立合作关系,从而 增强了其公信力。 该实验室绘制了40余处宝石矿床分布图,并运用人工智 能技术实现红宝石产地鉴定的准确率高达97%。 2025年同步启动的橄榄石与海蓝宝石产地溯源研究, 也取得可观的初步成果。ICA GemLab计划于2026年推出针 对这些新产地的商业服务,同时强化其宝石处理检测能力。 ICA GemLab在宝石学领域的人工智能应用持续取得突 破。通过技术创新合作伙伴GAIA Scientific,该实验室已开发 出用于检测宝石的创新人工智能系统。 Hatta说∶“我们的方法之所以与众不同,在于运用了反 映自然地质重叠的数据库,避免人为划分。这样能够既精准 又透明地量化不确定因素,而且确保在识别稀有产地方面 表现卓越。” 该技术产生了革命性的影响——它创建的自动化框架使 ICA GemLab的宝石学家能够专注处理复杂案例,同时高效 完成常规鉴定工作。 教育培训同样是实验室发展战略的关键环节。ICA GemLab全年为泰国顶尖宝石学机构,包括泰国东方大学 (Burapha University)的学生提供实习项目。 Hatta指出,参与者通过实习,掌握先进仪器操作与现代 分析技术,其中许多人后来在实验室和贸易公司担任领导 职务。由此,最佳行业实践得以广泛传播。 该实验室正为供应链中的在职宝石学家开发进阶课程, 试点项目预计在今年内启动。 迈向未来 ICA GemLab正处于高速发展阶段。该实验室计划在未 来12至18个月内拓展全球业务版图。目前,他们正评估对宝 石科学认证有强劲需求的关键市场。 Hatta表示:“我们正寻求符合科学卓越与道德实践承诺 的合作伙伴,同时致力推进设备创新,使先进检测技术更普 及。我们的核心目标是实现可持续增长,并保持业界公认的 质量标准与科学严谨性。”
