A diamond grading report basically is a documentation of the particular characteristics of a diamond. If you have bought a diamond before you would know that you are provided with a certificate with your purchase. Some jewelers often provide documentations that are issued by in-store gemologists, some of who are actually trained and educated by the GIA – The Gemological Institute of America. However, these gemologists cannot issue a GIA report; only the Gemological Institute of America can issue a GIA grading report.
GIA is a nonprofit organization and a public benefit research and educational institution that works as an independent and impartial establishment for analyzing the condition and quality of diamonds and other gems and providing unbiased, accurate information. The GIA does not represent any other sellers or retailers and also does not sell diamonds or other gemstones.
How Does GIA Evaluate a Diamond?
A GIA report is in no way an estimate for how expensive your diamond is but it really is the clear disclosure of your diamond’s characteristics, if there is any treatment involved in enhancing its color and clarity and an assurance of its quality. This report is quite necessary for you to make an informed and confident purchase.
The GIA tests every diamond that is submitted to the institution to determine if the stone is natural, synthetic or stimulant, and reveals if a diamond has been treated to artificially look a certain way. The GIA report is a comprehensive and scientific evaluation of your diamond’s qualities that contribute to its overall value. This really helps both sides of a transaction to make a smart and informed decision.
The GIA grading report includes the most important thing that determines the worth of a diamond – The 4Cs. The 4Cs are the color, cut, carat weight and clarity of a diamond. In addition to the 4Cs the report also identifies other characteristics like a its fluorescence, which is a diamond’s ability to glow a certain color in UV light, measurement, shape, polish and symmetry.
