Gübelin Gem Lab Lucerne Hong Kong New York www.gubelingemlab.com 22 | JNA July/August 2024 INNOVATION 创新科技 | Olivia Quiniquini 程爱莉 | Gem Passports from Gübelin Gem Lab 古宝琳宝石鉴定所的宝石护照 Gübelin Gem Lab is expanding its portfolio and reach by offering a simpler Gem Passport service backed by its AI-driven Gemtelligence system while gearing up for the opening of its Bangkok branch this September. 古宝琳宝石鉴定 所正在透过提供由Gemtelligence人工智慧系统驱动的 简化版宝石护照服务,來扩大其产品组合和覆盖范围, 同时为今年9月开设曼谷分部做好准备。 In February 2023, Gübelin Gem Lab unveiled Gemtelligence, its artificial intelligence-powered platform that could determine the country of origin of rubies, blue sapphires and emeralds as well as recognise heat treatments in rubies and sapphires. For over a year now, the groundbreaking system has been assisting the lab’s gemmologists by evaluating analytical data from the stones submitted for testing. Building on this powerful breakthrough, Gübelin Gem Lab is making its expertise available to a wider section of the market through its new Gem Passports. Powered by Gemtelligence, the service provides countryof-origin determination and a simplified form of treatment detection for rubies, blue sapphires and emeralds. Gem Passports are available for smaller stones from half-a-carat to 3 carats for CHF 200 (around US$224). “Gemtelligence enables a shortening of the testing procedure, particularly reducing the amount of time that human experts spend on the microscope documenting the stone. This lowers our costs, thus allowing for the significant reduction of the fee for Gem Passports,” explained Daniel Nyfeler, managing director of Gübelin Gem Lab. The lab’s Lucerne, Hong Kong and New York branches have been offering the Gem Passport service since June 1, 2024, with a turnaround time of around 10 working days. Nyfeler added, “Thanks to our Gemtelligence platform, dealers of smaller gemstones of lower commercial value now have the chance to get a Gübelin document for their stones. This will be particularly welcomed by brands, which need confirmation on the authenticity and origin of their stone, issued by a trustworthy lab for an affordable price.” Thailand presence The Gem Passport service will also be offered onsite at Gübelin Gem Lab (Thailand) when the facility opens on the 29th floor of the Jewelry Trade Center Building in Bangkok this September. Clients can still submit coloured gemstones bigger than 3 carats or request for traditional laboratory reports at the Bangkok lab. These stones will be sent internally for processing in Hong Kong or Lucerne, with a longer turnaround time than the two weeks required for Gem Passports. “Bangkok has proven to be one of the most important trading centres of coloured gemstones, and we have an established and loyal customer base in Thailand,” remarked Nyfeler. Officially Gübelin (Thailand) Co Ltd, the lab will be manned at first by two local staff. Employees from the Hong Kong and Lucerne laboratories will train the first members of the Bangkok team and help build up the branch’s processes and structures. Nyfeler expects the Bangkok lab to start with an initial processing capacity of hundreds of stones per week. Further possibilities The Gem Passport service and the soon-to-open Gübelin Gem Lab (Thailand) are but two of the significant initiatives enabled by the Gemtelligence deep-learning software. The system draws on Gübelin Gem Lab’s reference stone collection that comprises over 28,000 gemstones from all commercially relevant mines. This is supplemented by analyses of thousands of high-grade customers’ stones that the lab has analysed since 1970. 促进古宝琳长远发展 GEMTELLIGENCE powers Gübelin Gem Lab’s growth
