How about Dubai Gem Certification (DGS)? What do you think about certifcation from DGS?
Unfortunately, the DGC lab really only came out just as I stopped traveling to Dubai. I have sent an inquiry to a former colleague still stationed in Dubai. When I have his answer, I will post it to the website and let you know.
A little while later, I received this response from my former colleague:
Sorry to reply u late as i was in India and did’t check the mails since long
The market was really bad from oct 08 to feb 09 but from march there is a good pick up.
Regarding the lab no one is using this lab in Dubai.
if any thing u need plz tell
So as you can see, it seems the market in Dubai hasn’t taken this lab very seriously. It’s advised, then, to steer clear.
