The American Gem Society (AGS) announced AGS Laboratories’ new offering of diamond sorting services for loose stones above 0.18 cts based on client-specific grading criteria, such as minimum color or clarity. This cost-efficient, time-saving service is being made available with no minimum quantity on cut grade sorting services for stones between 0.18 and 49.99 cts and/or a minimum quantity of 50 stones between 0.18 and 1.99 cts for standard diamond sorting services.

The customized service provides diamond grading reports on stones meeting the client’s specified sorting criteria, providing the same level of consistency and accuracies as all other AGS Laboratories diamond grading reports.

“We are proud to offer the industry a way to save both time and money, effectively increasing profitability, while also ensuring accuracy and protecting consumer confidence,” says Ruth Batson, CEO of AGS and AGS Laboratories. “Efficiency in the supply chain should prove beneficial for our esteemed AGS member retailers, as well.”
