The American Gem Society (AGS) was founded in 1934 by a group of jewelers seeking to protect buyers from false advertising and fraud in the diamond industry. They introduced the first diamond cut grading system in 1966.
Nowadays, AGS provides gemological education, research, consumer protection, and diamond grading. Its consistent grading system makes it a respected diamond grading lab globally.
