Trade show participants can submit stones at the nearby GIA New York Laboratory’s take-in windows and get their items back before the close of the show. For example, if a stone gets submitted to the laboratory on Friday, it will be available for pickup by Tuesday night.

If work gets submitted Monday or Tuesday, it will still be afforded priority service and will be shipped back to their owners by their preferred shipping method. There will be no additional charge for this priority servicing during the show.
