At the conclusion of the June Hong Kong Jewelry and Gem Fair, EGL Asia, the only EGL diamond laboratory operating independently in Asia, and Sigma International Gemology (SIG) of Singapore, announced that the companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding that will allow SIG to represent EGL Asia in Singapore.



Walter Tan, Director of SIG said: "We are very pleased with this MOU as it will provide the customers of our diamond grading lab with an option to receive an internationally recognized EGL diamond grading report through our SIG facilities in Singapore."



Yossi Kuzi, founder and CEO of EGL Asia, stated the cooperation with SIG was part of his diamond grading lab's long term plan to engage other independent gem labs that operate in different geographical areas in Asia and to set up alliances with them.

"The signing of this MOU with SIG is part of our strategic plan to provide local solutions and improve the diamond grading service service to our customers throughout Asia," he said.
