GemRight presents itself as a gemological laboratory whose bedrock is conducting and publishing research, and whose evaluations aim to be objective, standardised and replicable. Its distinctive specialisation is agarwood — the aromatic resinous wood traded as oud, which gemmological laboratories are increasingly asked to identify and grade alongside conventional gems. The laboratory also maintains education modules covering practical gem knowledge.
Agarwood sits with pearls, coral, amber and ivory in the organic-gems chapter of gemmology: materials produced by living organisms, with their own identification challenges and treatments. Southeast Asia is the world\'s agarwood region, so it is natural for a Singapore laboratory to specialise in it. JDMIS gemmology education covers the organic gems alongside diamonds and coloured stones — they appear constantly in regional trade.
Does GemRight identify agarwood in Singapore?
Yes. GemRight describes an agarwood identification laboratory among its services — a distinctive specialisation among Singapore gem labs — alongside conventional gem evaluation.
Does GemRight offer courses?
GemRight publishes education modules (revised for 2026–2027) covering practical gemological knowledge, in addition to laboratory services.
Laboratories verify; gemmologists understand. JDMIS teaches the trade's gem knowledge in two steps — no science background needed:
Free while you read: the Gem Globe shows where the world's gemstones come from, and Name That Gem lets you test your eye with real instruments.
