The Institute, licenced by the Bahrain Ministry of Industry, Commerce & Tourism, delivers various reports on pearls and gemstones to all who require reliable third-party verification of a gem’s true identity. It provides both standard and enhanced report formats strictly in accordance with published fee schedules. 

Report Structure: The sturdy scientific reports are designed for long life. They are written in a tabulated format with the results in simple understandable language. They include colour images of the pearls and/or gemstones within the report. The enhanced reports are hard-cover multi-page documents that set forth the examination process and results in great detail including multiple images.

Research – a vital role: To support the various report outcomes and protect the trade and consumer alike, Danat applies a stringent research and verification process. A team of research gemmologists travel year-round to collect pearl and gemstone samples from pearling beds, mine sites, and treatment centres around the world. These are brought back to Bahrain where their properties are studied in-depth by Danat’s fully equipped Research Department.  The highly qualified staff are supported by the department’s wide array of scientific instrumentation including UV/visible, FTIR, EDXRF and Raman spectrophotometers, numerous real-time microradiography units, micro CT units as well as LA-ICP-MS. Research results are then presented through various scientific and simplified verbal and written presentations throughout the year.
