Certificates

 

When purchasing a diamond that is over 0.30ct it is very important that it comes with a certificate from an accredited diamond laboratory as there are many unscrupulous people. The importance of a certificate is that it will tell you the clarity, cut, colour and weight. It will also tell you if there are any other defects within the diamond and, more importantly, that the diamond is not a manufactured or treated diamond as these diamonds are still diamonds but the value of these stones are much less.

A Diamond certificate is a diamond's "fingerprint".

 

A diamond grading report is a detailed explanation of a diamond's characteristics such as its cut, weight and dimensions. Many diamonds are certified by an independent laboratory so that purchasers can feel confident that their diamond is indeed of the quality the seller represents. A certified diamond's quality is guaranteed, and is therefore more valuable than an uncertified stone. A certificate verifies a diamond's identity and value and is recognized by all gemmologists.  

Diamonds are certified by independent grading entities whose expert gemmologists evaluate each diamond's particular characteristics and attributes, such as clarity, cut, colour, carat, weight, fluorescence and other characteristics. Loose diamonds from FirstClassDiamonds.co.za are graded by either the GIA (Gemmological Institute of America), JCSA (Jewellery Council of South Africa), or IGI (International Gemmological Institute), the world's most respected grading entities. All of these institutes are known for their consistency, stringency and impartiality when grading diamonds.
