Ce.S.Ar. Centro Studi Archeometrici - Associazione per le ricerche Archeometriche Information

The Scienze in support of Art, History, Technology… Ce.S.Ar. was founded in Milan in 1989 and in 2007 moved its headquarters to Rome. Currently, Ce.S.Ar. is a professional association dedicated to a full line appraisal and scientific research. It has developed an enlarged and stable membership representing the whole field of Cultural and Environmental Heritage, Precious Metals and Gemology. The staff members are highly qualified to perform well-documented appraisals, and scientific authentication reports within their stated areas of expertise. SCIENTIFIC METHODS IN CULTURAL HERITAGE The historical and technological information available are often insufficient to the expert who is engaged on studying or authenticating an artifact, due to the lack of documentary data, or lack of specific evidence, or for difficulties on data interpretation. Combining scientific means with technological and humanistic studies, or rather using diagnostic investigations aimed at specific problem solving could assist in the identification of the item under exam. The purpose is to provide, professionally and strictly on scientific basis, in-depth analysis on works of art and precious artifact, possibly using non-invasive and portable systems, such as: SCIENTIFIC GEMOLOGICAL LABORATORY Ce.S.Ar. has a modern gemological laboratory equipped with state-of- the-art instrumentation, specializing in gemstones and jewelry. We certificate and evaluate diamonds, colored diamonds, colored gemstones and pearls with the highest standards of precision and we can provide detailed identification and advanced reports as well as country-of-origin reports.
