Who certifies your diamonds?Updated 7 days ago

Our diamonds are graded by GIA Certified Gemologists with a unique data and technical advantage specific to lab grown diamonds. Unlike other diamond reports, our foundry guarantees the grade of your diamond with a full producer warranty. The result is the best in diamond tradition and modernization—true assurance of your diamond’s exceptional quality. You can learn more about our diamond certificates here and here.

 

If you would like additional certification, we are also able to send your center stone for a GIA report for a non-refundable fee of $375 USD, which takes 3-4 weeks to receive back. We are only able to send an unmounted diamond chosen from our Diamond Table and we must be contacted within 24 hours of your order being placed to offer this service. This service would be completed before our jeweler begins crafting your mounting.

 

Please keep in mind, while GIA is seen as the world’s foremost authority on diamond grading, the process is still a subjective science, and it is possible to have two GIA Graduate Gemologists have a difference of opinion when it comes to assigning a color or clarity grade. Color is assessed by looking through the pavilion of the diamond while it is face down using master stones to guide the gemologist. It is not uncommon for there to be a slight variation in the final grade allocated. Clarity is graded using 10x magnification either with a loupe or microscope. The clarity grade is based on a number of factors including the type, size, color, and location of the natural inclusion(s).
