The Gemological Institute of America was founded in 1931 in Los Angeles. The GIA created and introduced the international grading system. Headquarters are still located in Los Angeles.
Grading reports play an extremely important role in evaluating a diamond. They are important for the consumer as well as for the jeweler.
A Diamond certificate gives security to the consumer that they are buying what the jeweler is promising them and for the jeweler they eliminate the mystery of grading an uncertified stone.
A certified diamond secures and builds a relationship between the customer and the jeweler. It is thus important to understand a diamond certificate.
A diamond grading report has complete information about the diamond. It describes the various factors determining the beauty, durability, value and quality of the diamond. It verifies and confirms the identity of the diamond.
They are extremely helpful for insurance companies to replace your diamond as close as possible in the event of a loss or theft. Accuracy of the certificate also depends on which laboratory is certifying or grading the diamond.
