Pearl Reports & Services Details
Pearl Reports
GIA Pearl Reports provide information on the identity of pearls (natural or cultured), the mollusk (when determinable) they originated from and the environment they formed in (saltwater or freshwater), and also state whether the pearls have undergone treatment, as well as providing classification information based on the GIA 7 Pearl Value Factors, depending on the service type chosen. Multiple security features on GIA pearl reports ensure their authenticity. The reports include a digital image of the pearl(s).
