CEO Commentary: Innovation Drives Trust

Beyond the 4Cs: New Scientific Approach to Diamond Evaluation

Tehmasp Printer, Managing Director and CEO of the International Gemmological Institute, expressed confidence in the company’s direction. He said, “We are witnessing strong momentum across all categories. Today’s consumers want more than just the 4Cs—cut, color, clarity, and carat.”

To meet evolving expectations, IGI has introduced a proprietary Light Performance Analysis. This new system measures how diamonds interact with light, offering insights into brightness, fire, and contrast. As a result, consumers get a clearer understanding of a diamond’s true sparkle.

Expanding Services in Jewelry Certification

In addition to diamond grading, the International Gemmological Institute sees growing demand for certifying natural and lab-grown diamond jewelry. This trend supports IGI’s ongoing business growth and strengthens its role in the certification ecosystem.

Looking ahead, this shift is expected to further accelerate IGI’s expansion. More consumers are seeking verified and traceable gemstones, especially in the jewelry sector.

Conclusion: IGI Positioned for Continued Success

Thanks to a combination of scientific innovation, transparent processes, and growing consumer awareness, the International Gemmological Institute remains a trusted name in gem certification. Its Q2 and H1 FY26 results show the company is not just growing—it’s evolving with the market.
