I know this...but...??

[arjunajane]

Hiya guys,

can someone please tell me what lab it that people ask Tan or other Thai-based sellers to send their gems
to for the cheap (I think $25?) memo?

I''m sure I know it, but my brain is dead right now...I have just spent over nine hours straight doing assignment work today

TIA!

GIT memo?

AIGS

You could send it to GIT, Burapha, but I prefer AIGS to those, why?

1) The memo is a thick stock card
2) It has a photo of the gem
3) It can be verified online
4) It has a hologram to prevent forgery

All are about the same pricing, but I think you get a lot more for your money with AIGS. I''m not sure if GIT can be verified online, but it''s a thin piece of paper, and no photo. Burapha is the same.

Thanks everyone for the speedy responses!

It is of the utmost importance that I get a memo for my 3ct yellow diamond, which I am buying as a zircon for $5.68...............

Of course, that is a joke..and I asked this question for the proper reasons

TL or others, do you have an opinion or any knowledge on "SLP Gem Laboratory"..? They do provide a photo on their identification cards..

TL, I have come across Burapha certs with a photo of the gem..does this sound correct?
