Clients in the UAE and wider GCC region can now submit gemstones, pearls and diamonds for Gübelin Gem Lab analysis without leaving Dubai - by appointment, on the 48th floor of Almas Tower.
Gübelin Gem Lab, the Swiss gemmological laboratory founded in Lucerne in 1923, today officially opened its Take-In Window at the DMCC Luxury Innovation Centre (DLIC) in Almas Tower, Jumeirah Lakes Towers. Dr Daniel Nyfeler, Managing Director of Gübelin Gem Lab, attended the opening in person alongside representatives of DMCC, the DLIC, ORIGINALLUXURY and HUXE Group, the Take-In Window's designated logistics partner.
The Take-In Window gives jewellers, traders, collectors and private clients a direct point of access to Gübelin Gem Lab's testing and origin-determination services. Stones are received in Dubai, transported securely to the laboratory in Switzerland, and returned with their Gübelin Lab reports. Visits are by appointment only.
A Swiss laboratory, a Dubai doorstep
"Dubai has become one of the world's most important crossroads for fine gemstones and pearls," said Dr Daniel Nyfeler, Managing Director of Gübelin Gem Lab. "Our clients here deserve the same confidence they would have walking into our laboratory in Lucerne, Switzerland. The Take-In Window brings that access to their doorstep, with every stone still analysed to the highest standards Gübelin has kept for more than a century."
"Our ambition for the DLIC has always been to bring the world's most trusted names in luxury and precious goods together under one roof in Dubai," said Hans Schwab, Co-Founder, ORIGINALLUXURY. "Welcoming Gübelin Gem Lab is a milestone for the Centre. It gives our members and the wider trade direct access to Swiss scientific excellence, and it shows what the DLIC was built to do: connect expertise, trust and opportunity across borders."
"Precious stones demand an uninterrupted, fully insured chain of custody from the moment they leave a client's hands," said Filippo Melchionni, Group COO, HUXE Group. "As the designated, exclusive logistics partner of the Take-In Window, HUXE manages secure transport between Dubai and Switzerland, so that clients can focus on the result rather than the journey."
"Every client who comes to the Take-In Window will have a dedicated appointment and a single point of contact from submission to the return of their report," said Stephanie Pippen, Client Relations, Gübelin Gem Lab Dubai. "Whether it is one heirloom pearl or a trade parcel, we take the time to understand what each client needs and guide them through the process with complete discretion."
