A Diamond Certificate is a statement, issued by an independent Gemological Laboratory, after examination by experienced Diamond Graders using various gemological instruments.

Essentially the diamond’s identification card, the certificate details a precious stone’s classification according to industry standards: Color, Clarity, Cut and Carat of a diamond; each such diamond is unique.

It is important to have a Diamond evaluated by an independent Laboratory because each minute characteristic of a diamond – even if invisible to the naked-eye – can have a major impact on its value.

All IDC Diamonds are delivered with a gemological Certificate.
