Diamond Certifications |
|
When you’re ready to purchase a diamond for your soon-to-be-fianc?e, don’t just shell out your hard-earned money on any “bargain-priced” stone offered to you. Like it or not, there are a lot of unscrupulous people out there who wouldn’t think twice about taking advantage of others. Even if it comes out slightly more expensive it pays to buy jewels from reputable jewelers. Not only do they carry the real deal, they can also guarantee the quality of each item they have on stock. If you are out to give your girl a real diamond, look for one that has been certified or graded. These certifications normally come with the rock and are prepared by international gemologist laboratories. These certificates indicate the color, cut, clarity and carat weight of your stone. Aside from these, the report should contain technical information such as its shape, exact measurements, polish, fluorescence and even its imperfections. The certificate is proof of the authenticity of the gem. It will not, however, state the monetary worth or equivalent of your diamond. For this, you need to present the grading report to your jeweler or have him explain all the information to you. Since there are certified diamonds, you can be sure that there are non-certified ones out in the market too. Some loose diamonds are sold without any certifications. These diamonds are often just “appraised” and it is difficult to guarantee the quality of appraised pieces. |
| Diamond or gem appraisals can be done by anyone, even without the proper educational background. Salesmen can perform appraisals and present you with an appraisal document. If you read through the fine print, you will see legal disclaimers protecting the appraiser should the value he gave is incorrect. If the diamond that you wish to purchase has not been certified, you can request the jeweler to have it sent to one of the following organizations: G.I.A (Gemological Institute of America); A.G.S (American Gem Society); E.G.L. (European Gemological Laboratory); and the I.G.I (International Gemological Institute). Results should be ready after four weeks. If the jeweler refuses to have the stone certified, then maybe you should consider buying your gems elsewhere. Securing a certificate is important, and it’s not just for show. If you decide to have your jewelry insured, this certificate would help the insurance company determine its insured value. Aside from this, the certificate is also for your own peace of mind. You’ll be able to rest easy knowing that you have given your girl something of value and that the diamond you purchased was well worth its price. |
