About Company
Lucille Esperame-Bocobo, founder of Gemlab Philippines, started in the jewelry industry back in her school days, when pawnshops were not more than 2000 in number nationwide. During summer breaks she helped her mother in the family’s retail and pawnshop business. Her curiosity grew especially on gemstones as she got herself more involved in the trade. Eventually she learned that the trade was so misinformed in a lot of things from terminologies to theories and its applications. At that time it was unfortunate that she couldn’t get herself and her staff the right training because there was no school in Manila that teaches the right principles of gemology and jewelry appraising. Lucille decided to take Gemology in HK and later in the US where she earned her GG (Graduate Gemologist) diploma. She established Esperame Gem Studio in June of 1986 at Makati Cinema Square, and was later renamed in 1988 as Gemlab Phils., short for Gemological Laboratory Philippines. She started offering tutorial lessons on pawnshop appraising and operation from 15 hours in 5 days, now known as the JA17 package for 105 hours in 17 half days. She thought of the importance of always improving her curriculum by updating through research and attending seminars outside the country to keep up with technology on new stones and treatments. She also offers tutorial courses in Gemology and Jewelry Design and Jewelry Manufacturing. The Directress was able to establish Gemlab as the leader in jewelry appraising, gemology and jewelry design education in the Philippines. The school helps address the problems in the pawnshop & jewelry industry by teaching the correct basics of grading and identification to ensure a sound appraisal, to attract more customers and pawners, help sell more, save & protect or increase the business and establish one’s reputation as a trusted professional here and even in the international market.
