GIA cited “changes inside the world diamond commerce that resulted in vital declines in submissions from native buyers over the past quite a lot of years” because the rationale.
Though the company had decrease working costs and diminished staff by attrition on the lab, it talked about finally, the Ramat Gan location was not financially sustainable.

All diamonds in the meanwhile on the lab will doubtless be returned to buyers with the requested GIA research.
Starting Nov. 17, the Ramat Gan lab will doubtless be accepting submissions for service at totally different GIA areas.
Diamonds that may have been serviced on the Ramat Gan lab will doubtless be despatched to totally different areas and returned to buyers at no additional costs, talked about GIA.
Frequent supply costs will nonetheless apply to diamonds submitted to GIA Ramat Gan that won’t have been serviced regionally.
GIA talked about it is working to rearrange a third-party course of to easily settle for submissions from walk-in buyers at Ramat Gan that may doubtless be processed elsewhere.
That third event would accept objects for shipments to totally different GIA facilities and return them to buyers.
Additional particulars will doubtless be launched rapidly, talked about GIA.
