	Gemological Institute of America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gemological Institute of America, or GIA, is a non-profit institute dedicated to research and education in the field of gemology.
		The GIA was also responsible for the first modern diamond grading reports, where it introduced grading methodologies for diamond color and diamond clarity.
		The GIA is the oldest and has the best reputation of the three for strict grading standards and is therefore preferred for most high-grade diamonds; however, the AGS provides more information on diamond cut than GIA reports and is therefore sometimes preferred.

	GIA - Gemological Institute of America
		The Institute's team of renowned scientists, researchers, and educators have earned distinction as: creators of the international diamond grading system; pioneers of spectroscopy as a means of identifying treated diamonds; custodians of the world's largest gemological library; and authors of the seminal Handbook of Gem Identification, and the Dictionary of Gems and Gemology.
		GIA's Robert Mouawad Campus is located just 30 miles (50 km) north of San Diego and 86 miles (139 km) south of Los Angeles.

	WORLD DIAMOND COUNCIL - Feasility of Determining Country of Origin
		Founded in 1931, GIA is the largest educational and research institution in the world, with some 700 employees on campuses in eight countries on three continents.
		GIA has therefore been asked to research, review and comment on the feasibility of identification of country of origin of rough and polished gem diamonds.
		Because GIA has long felt that the best research data and expertise has not resulted in a standard of consistency and scientific backing acceptable to our institution, we have never entered the arena of providing origin reports on colored gemstones, and continue to hold this fundamental view.
