Why is a diamond certificate from an independent laboratory important?
The majority of our diamonds come with a certificate from the Gemological Institute of America or the European Gemological Laboratory because we want our customers to feel secure before, during and after their important diamond purchase. Without a certificate from an independent laboratory clearly documenting quality, diamonds (especially large ones) are subject to intentional exaggeration and misrepresentation of their actual quality by some jewelers where color, cut, and clarity are concerned. You can shop for a diamond ring at Steve Quick Jeweler with confidence, knowing that not only do we guarantee what we sell to be exactly as described, but that an independent diamond laboratory with a solid reputation for accuracy and integrity worldwide will substantiate the value of your purchase. Also of importance is the fact that a diamond with a certificate is easier for the customer to insure and replace in the unfortunate event of a loss.
