What is the difference between an appraisal and a Diamond Grading Report?A Diamond Grading Report can be requested before making a purchase. However, it does not list the estimated retail replacement value. The appraisal is ordered after you make a purchase. It confirms the 4Cs, but also includes the estimated retail replacement value.

What if I lose my original Diamond Grading Report?The number assigned to the Diamond Grading Report is on file with the grading institution that produced the report. Additional copies can be requested for a nominal fee.

What is a Diamond Grading Report?A Diamond Grading Report documents the diamond's unique characteristics. Performed by an independent gemological laboratory, the report examines and identifies the 4C's -cut, color, clarity, carat weight-plus finish, fluorescence and symmetry. The gemologist may add comments for further identification.

How do I know that I am getting the same diamond I selected?Each Diamond Grading Report is assigned a unique number that corresponds to the stone and certifies its characteristics. To ensure proper identification, the Diamond Grading Report will have a diagram that shows all the inclusions unique to the stone, or in some cases, the diamond will be laser-inscribed with the number of the Diamond Grading Report.

Who issues Diamond Grading Reports?To ensure your peace of mind, we offer diamond grading reports issued only by the two leading independent gemological laboratories, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the American Gem Society (AGS). Both have received international recognition for their high standards and ethics and are respected worldwide as premier research, education, and gemological grading institutes.
The GIA produces a full Diamond Grading Report, with a diagram of inclusions, for diamonds over 99 points. A Diamond Dossier® is an abbreviated version of the Diamond Grading Report that does not contain a diagram of the stone. However, the report number is laser-inscribed on the girdle of the diamond for identification.
