What is the importance of a GIA or AGS diamond certificate?
A diamond certificate assures the quality of a diamond and makes it almost impossible to falsify. The certificate or report addresses key characteristics of each diamond, including the 4Cs. No two diamonds are alike so each diamond requires its own certificate. It’s easy to verify that a certificate belongs to a particular diamond. The certificate offers a plotting of all the natural inclusions on the top and bottom of the diamond. Alternatively the girdle of the diamond will be laser inscribed with the ID number that corresponds to the certificate.
