Hi; someone knows who these guys are?
Are they reliable?

Cheers.

Ps: sorry if this isn't the right place, but I wasn't able to post in the FAQ section.

Sorry - never heard of them.

Any more info - where are they etc?

It is a kinda oxymoron name

Uhm, as "AIG", you say..... well, as for their extended name, I've found nothing decisive nor describing about 'em here, after a search (and specially, no clear statements, rather that scattered words to and fro); otherwise, I'd never posted to ask.

Ps., in order to avoid repeating questions and scattered answers, wouldn't be better to create some sticky posts, or a sub-forum, devoted only to the gemological insitutes (or so-called) and their deeds?

Hello

I''m totally new at this, but have been reading/researching all the info here on PS. Anyway, I had never heard of them until this past weeekend when my BF and I visited Robbins Bros. here in L.A. Most of their certs were from AIG. I asked about them, and was told that they operate out of Woodland Hills, CA. Their staff is made up of GIA people. I was not impressed with the rocks I saw that they graded.

I started a list about a year ago of who makes ''certificates''. I gave up at about 50 different labs. It''s changed considerably since then. It''s a seriously difficult chore to stay on top of who describes themselves as a Gemological Institute much less to keep track of their various products.
