What is diamond certification?

Along with each diamond you are considering, you must obtain and review its laboratory certification. This lab or grade report will be awarded by a grading body and represents various components of the gemstone, such as color, quality, and length. Trained professionals examine, scrutinize, and calibrate diamond jewelry with professional tools, such as a magnifying glass or microscope.

Each entity rates and describes gemstones differently, and sometimes the difference is significant. There are several labs out there and it is really important to learn which ones are trustworthy and trustworthy and which ones are not.

Because gemstone certificates are not created the same, the purchase price and value of diamond jewelry are not similar across different grades. Make sure you buy diamonds that are rated by a reputable grading body and review the gemstone thoroughly before purchasing.

What to consider in a diamond certification

Consistency
With regard to the comparison of laboratory rating entities, it is more important to seek regularity rather than thoroughness of rating.

For example, the GIA will not rate a gemstone in the same way that the IGI rates a gem. Stability of color and clarity grades and sometimes trim grades is only as effective as the reputation of the certifying laboratory. But if one laboratory regularly provides a higher unique Clarity class than another laboratory, that laboratory is by no means less “authentic.”

To highlight the value of this concern, take color levels, for example. We recommend keeping a color H or better when placing a gemstone in an environment like this. It may appear that you have found the ideal gemstone with an H color diamond with an IGI license. But when you have it at home, you understand that the gemstone has a yellowish tint. This is because the gemstone closely resembles a GIA certified color I and the IGI only offers a relatively weak certificate.

Rather than simply comparing ratings across accreditations, look for persistence in the entity’s rating decisions.

Different documentation labs give different results. Each laboratory has its peculiarities. Some are more flexible in classifying color, while others are inconsistent with quality. Some labs often update specific colors and variations, while others prefer particular inclusions arrangements.

Smart diamond companies use this knowledge, gained by submitting thousands of gemstones to different labs each month, to increase their results. Knowing which labs are reliable and consistent can help you avoid investing in a gemstone that is worth significantly less than what the license says is true.

Gemstone classification is subjective

All gemstone grading is subjective and, contrary to popular belief, there is not really a core company that mathematically identifies what a “G” color is or what an “SI1” grade looks like. If one laboratory regularly says that a color quality is a “G” while another laboratory will regularly call that same color “H”, it is correct and reasonable as long as they do so consistently.

It is important to note that although an entity is fair in its rating, it generally does not indicate that the entity is trustworthy and trustworthy. Buying an unreliable certified gemstone at an unrealistic price is not correct, even if the entity consistently rates diamond jewelry this way because you are not getting value for the purchase price you are paying.

GIA Certified Loose Diamonds

The GIA (Gemological Institute of America) is the most respected and recognized gemstone classification entity. They are truly incredibly consistent and provide the most satisfaction when buying diamonds. GIA has no financial involvement in diamond sales and evaluates gemstones on a number of attributes and elements, including:

Belt thickness
Cut level (excellent, very good, good, while)
Color level (ranging from D to J)
Clarity quality (IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2)
Measures in millimeters)
Gemstone shape and cut style.
Carat weight
Desk %
Depth%
Culet size
Symmetry
Proportion diagram
Polish grade
Diamond showing all blemishes and inclusions
Degree of fluorescence
Laser beam registration (if applicable)
Safety features

All in all, GIA certified loose diamonds have a reputation for great color and clarity, the most subjective scales, and the most rigorous evaluation. Due to GIA’s great reputation, proven reliability, and track record, we recommend purchasing only GIA-certified loose diamonds.

Why Buy GIA Certified Loose Diamonds?

Each gemstone is licensed and priced according to the four “C’s” (karat, color, quality, and finish). But perhaps you’ve never wondered who levels the gem that a sales rep shows you. Simply put, how will you know that a diamond that is said to be G color and VS1 clarity is actually a G color VS1 quality diamond?

Let’s say you get a gemstone rated 0.76 carat, G color, and VS1 quality. To ensure our diamond grading is current, please choose to take it to ten different gemstone graders. You will likely find that all ten appraisers offer you at least six different appraisals, which may differ from the statement of others. Does this imply that they made a mistake and sold you the diamonds in an unethical or deceptive way? Maybe five of our evaluation was valid and the other jewelers were giving you incorrect information. How will you objectively compare gemstone prices if a gemstone can receive that many ratings?

Now you almost certainly understand what an average buyer must go through in search of that special stone. Isn’t there an improved and easier way to do this? YES, IT EXISTS! Look for a gemstone that is certified, not by just anyone, but by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America). All diamond experts and jewelers know what a “GIA certificate” is. Without question, the GIA classification is regarded throughout the diamond industry as the most accurate and unbiased judgment when it comes to gemstone classification.

These days, evaluating the prices of GIA certified loose diamonds is very easy. You don’t even have to go to different stores to help make the comparisons. Just call a jeweler and ask for the cost of a GIA-authorized 0.76 carat G-color and VS1 transparency diamond with a good cut. If the normal prices are competitive, they will be able to estimate an accurate price for you. So all you need to do is choose the diamonds from the jeweler with the best price. Theoretically, you would be in a position to reach a conclusion without even leaving your home. It goes without saying that factors other than price have to be considered as well. Stay home and buy all your favorite stones comfortably!
