What is government certification in relation to diamonds and why is it important?
The only government certification available today is through the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) in Canada. This program, the world’s first, guarantees not only a diamond’s place of origin (where it was mined) but also, its place and quality of manufacture. Diamonds cut in Canada, by Canadian manufacturers, under the strict scrutiny of a government body, obviously carry a greater validity and provide higher value and peace of mind. In addition to the GNWT certificate, Polar Diamonds provides the most comprehensive diamond quality guarantee in the world.
