AnchorCert Gem Lab and LDB Partner on Gemstone Testing and Reports
August 25, 15
(IDEX Online News) – The Assay Office Birmingham (AOB) and the London Diamond Bourse (LDB) are partnering to provide bourse members with secure delivery of diamonds and gemstones for grading at AnchorCert Gem Lab, based at AOB’s new Birmingham facility.
Under the terms of the agreement, LDB members will have all stones collected for grading internally at the bourse using a simple audited system facilitated entirely by LDB and AnchorCert Gem Lab.
“The added value for our members is the fact that AnchorCert Gem Lab is in the UK, rapidly reducing lead times for gemstone analysis and grading,” said LDB chief operating officer Victoria McKay.
“These types of partnerships are vital for the protection of the UK trade,” said Assay Master and CEO Stella Layton.
