GIA DIAMONDS CERTIFICATES
A GIA certificate is a report card detailing the specific analysis carried out on a diamond of any shape or size above 0.18ct. The GIA only grades unmounted diamonds as settings prevent thorough examination. A certificate features a unique report number, which matches the GIA number laser-inscribed on the girdle of the diamond.
The certificate features a comprehensive diamond report assessing a stone’s 4C’s: its clarity, colour, cut and carat weight. It also plots the diamond’s clarity characteristics and includes a polish and symmetry grade. Understanding a diamond’s key attributes is vital when it comes to the comparing quality and price of stones.
GIA GRADING REPORTS
GIA certification allows customers to accurately compare diamonds on an equal basis. When purchasing diamonds, always ask for the grading report and be wary of stones that lack GIA certification. Variations in grading can impact a diamond's value, making it challenging to assess its worth if evaluated by a different grading standard or method.

How important is diamond certification? Diamond certification is essential for any diamond because it verifies and describes what it is you're buying. Without a certificate from a reliable lab, there's no way to know if the diamond you're buying is what the seller claims.
