For the first time, gemologists and jewelers will have access to an innovative solution for diamond color grading. Developed through a collaboration between the Accredited Gemologists Association (AGA), Stuller, and GCAL by Sarine, the new Certified Hybrid Diamond Master Sets offer a cost-effective and reliable alternative to traditional natural master sets. This breakthrough addresses industry challenges related to the limited availability and rising costs of traditional sets.
By combining natural and lab-grown diamonds, these master sets provide a precise and accessible tool for diamond color grading. The AGA Board of Governors has recently approved the new Hybrid Diamond Master Sets for use in their Certified Gemological Laboratory (CGL) program. They also authorized GCAL by Sarine as an approved grading laboratory for certifying these sets.
The AGA-CGL program sets standards for equipment and professional training in gemological laboratories, which jewelers and appraisers must meet. To earn Certified Gemological Laboratory (CGL) status, laboratories must use a diamond master color grading set and ensure that qualified gemologists oversee all operations.
