Yinon Feldheim, CEO of WGI, had commented, "This initiative is very important to us. With great appreciation we start the international research cooperation with leading gemological research centers like SSEF. The market is constantly looking at gemological institutions to support the trade in handling the issue of lab grown and treated diamonds. We are planning to dedicate the major portion of our resources to provide the consumers and the trade with tools and methods to better understand enhancements and treatments."
