DGSL has launched a structured insurance appraisal service for gems and jewellery, introducing what the organization describes as India’s first standards-driven appraisal system specifically designed for insurance documentation.

Announced in New Delhi on March 9, 2026, the service aims to address gaps in the Indian market where jewellery insurance documentation has often lacked standardized gemological evaluation and internationally aligned valuation methodologies.

According to DGSL, the new appraisal reports include gemstone identification, grading analysis, market-aligned valuation methodology, high-resolution imaging, and clearly defined value conclusions prepared for insurance coverage purposes.

The reports are intended to support clients, insurers, and financial institutions by providing accurate replacement value assessments and reducing ambiguity during insurance claims.

In a parallel development, Atul Jain, director at DGSL, has been granted membership in the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers (NAJA), an international organization focused on jewellery appraisal standards, ethics, and professional education.

Jain is a Graduate Gemologist with more than four decades of experience in the jewellery trade, including work in gemological education, diamond grading, jewellery authentication, coloured gemstones, and antique jewellery evaluation.

Commenting on the development, Jain said, “The introduction of structured insurance appraisal services marks an important evolution for the Indian jewellery industry. Jewellery today represents not only adornment but also heritage, investment, and emotional legacy. It deserves documentation that meets global standards of accuracy, transparency, and credibility.”

DGSL stated that the service will cater to collectors, high-net-worth individuals, jewellery retailers, estate planners, financial institutions, and insurance providers.
