The Importance Of Having Diamond Certification
A diamond certification is your peace of mind when buying a diamond. A diamond certification is a report created by a gemologist who has looked at your diamond under a microscope and graded it on the "4C's" of cut, color, clarity, and carats as well as other characteristics such as finish and symmetry. That gemologist guarantees that you are getting what you paid for.

Reading A Diamond Certificate
Each gemological laboratory issues its own diamond certificate, or grading report. Although there are minor differences among them (for example, GIA does not give a grade on cut), the reports are very similar.
Each report will give the characteristics of the diamond, and will include a diagram of the diamond marked with the natural inclusions.
