Certified Diamonds

Diamond Certification / Diamond grading report is a report that certifies the diamond as genuine and describes it with the information about the color grade, flaw grade, weight, cutting and proportioning etc. Most diamonds above 0.3 CTS are usually evaluated by lab entities. Some of the most reputable Diamond Laboratories are GIA, IGI, and HRD.  As certificates play a main role in determining the value of diamonds, it is important to know more about the different grading systems.
