HRD Antwerp NV recently expanded its services to Dubai, launching its Lab Link in the Emirates. The new service provides members of the Dubai diamond sector with direct access to the HRD Antwerp - Diamond Lab. The Dubai Lab Link Service has been launched with Malca Amit in Antwerp and Transguard in Dubai, both as logistical partners.

Diamonds are picked up in Dubai by Transguard’s couriers at the clients’ offices, and delivered post grading and with certificates obtained in Antwerp. The HRD Antwerp - Lab Link pick up certification service offers clients the complete range of services provided by the HRD Antwerp - Diamond Lab in Antwerp, including full diamond certificates, fancy colour diamond certificates, laser inscriptions with the HRD Antwerp Certificate ID number inscribed on the girdle, and sealing, which guarantees the association between the stone and the certificate.

The service has been made flexible for smaller and medium sized companies, which have a stock of limited size and even single stones. For its next phase of expansion, HRD Antwerp is also operating Lab Link services in Israel, Hong Kong and Mumbai.
