Confidence
Every
PIECE OF JEWELLERY we sell comes with a certificate
that guarantees and documents the quality of your
JEWELRY. Without this certificate, you have no
proof of the value of your JEWELLERY.
A certified gemologist prepares
the diamond certificate (also called a grading
report, dossier or quality report). The gemologist
scrutinizes the diamond under a microscope, clarity,color,
finish, symmetry and other characteristics AS
MOUTNING PERMITS .
The most highly valued diamonds
in the industry come with a diamond certificate
report from the Diamond High Council (HRD) or
the International Gemological Institute (IGI),
or the International Gemological Laboratory (IGL)
known and respected for having the most strict,
consistent and unbiased systems for grading diamonds
in the world.Be aware that if you buy a diamond
without a certificate, you are trusting the salesperson's
claim as to its quality. A trained gemologist
or even another jeweler may disagree with that
salesperson's assessment. Protect yourself: get
a grading report.
Please note that a 'certificate'
and an 'appraisal' are two different things. A
certificate guarantees your diamond's quality.
An appraisal places a monetary value on your gem.
Of course, a certificate from HRD or IGL greatly
facilitates appraisal of your jewellery.
