Gübelin Gem Lab blazes a trail in leveraging new technology, adopting AI and developing traceability platforms long before these were fully embraced by the trade. And it is not resting on its laurels as it continues to expand the capabilities of its groundbreaking and inventive solutions.. Its AI-powered Gemtelligence, launched in February 2023, can determine the origin of rubies, blue sapphires and emeralds and identify heat treatment in rubies and blue sapphires. The system is integrated in the lab’s testing protocols in its operations in Lucerne, Hong Kong, New York and Bangkok as well as its mobile laboratories. Every Gemtelligence result though undergoes a plausibility check from a senior gemmologist before it is released. Gemtelligence was trained on a combination of coloured gemstones from the Gübelin Reference Stone Collection that has over 30,000 stones of high authenticity, and a carefully curated selection of client stones received over the course of more than 100 years. The lab’s database is continually updated and expanded with stones from its field trips, including more recent ones to Tanzania, Vietnam, Pakistan and Madagascar. Technological advancements and ingenious initiatives deliver greater efficiencies and growth possibilities in the gem and jewellery industry. 技术革新与独创性的举措,有效提升宝 石和珠宝行业的效率和增长潜力。
