Why is a GIA diamond certificate so important?
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the most well respected gem laboratory in the world. The GIA only certifies 100% natural diamonds. They will not give certification to manufactured diamond imitations or to diamonds that have been clarity enhanced or color treated. The GIA has literally set the industry standard for diamond grading and gemological identification. That is why the most prestigious jewelers in the world sell only GIA certified diamonds. There are thousands of engagement rings on Ebay, but only a select few of them come with a certificate from the GIA. If you want to be absolutely certain that the diamond you are buying is 100% natural and is being graded accurately, then you should insist on GIA certification. Please visit the GIA website for more information on how to buy a diamond, and visit our Utopia Diamonds Jewelry Store to find more GIA certified diamond jewelry.
