The Gübelin Gem Lab traces its origins to the pioneering gemmological initiated by Dr. Eduard J. Gübelin in the early 20th century. His visionary integration of science and art established the foundations of modern gemmology, in particular the systematic determination of country of origin. Over the decades, the lab has expanded its capabilities through continuous innovation, scientific research, and dedication to impartial expertise.
From the introduction of advanced chemical and spectroscopic techniques, the Provenance Proof initiative, to the development of the gemstone rating system, the lab has consistently set new benchmarks for the industry. This history reflects an enduring commitment to discovery and integrity, preserving Dr. Eduard Gübelin’s legacy as both a scientist and a talented author.
