Emerald Certification

I want to get certification for low- to medium-priced emeralds (Zambian and Brazilian). Which gem labs are the most trusted and widely accepted worldwide?

I don't want to spend a lot of money on certifications from GRS or GIA, as they are quite expensive and usually take a long time. Since these emeralds are in the low- to medium-price range, I don't think it makes much sense to have them certified by those labs.

If anyone has experience with this or can suggest suitable alternatives, I would appreciate your recommendations.

Zambian Emerald

I'll be starting my online sales journey soon. Here's my first attempt at filming a 0.8 ct pear-shaped Zambian emerald using my phone and a loupe.

As a buyer, would this video give you enough confidence to purchase the stone?

Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
