The Advantage Of Buying Certified Diamond Studs
16 Mar 2008
Probably the most important document when you purchase your diamond studs is the diamond certificate also called the diamond grading report. This document id laminated and contains essential data about the diamonds in your stud earrings.
This document is completed by certified gemologist in laboratories that are independent of the jewelry store. There are two labs, which are commonly used - the America Gem Society Laboratories (AGSL) and the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
The are both known for their consistent, unbiased grading of all diamonds. The certificate grades color, cut, carat, and clarity. It will also describe the symmetry, polish, and shape of the diamond as well as the depth and table percentages. In the report, you will also find information on graining, florescence, and imperfections in the diamond.
With the new GIA report format, any standard round brilliant diamonds that fall within the GIA D-Z color scale will now be given one of five cut grades ranging from poor to excellent. Finally, there should be a sketch of the diamond that is detailed.
When you buy a diamond that has a GIA Certificate, you have the advantage of knowing the authenticity of the gem. You don’t have to fear that your diamond studs have a poorer quality or even a Zirconia set rather than the diamond you believe it to be. There will also be no misunderstanding about the quality of the diamond.
Sometimes you are required to pay a small fee to obtain the certificate, other times it’s included with the purchase price as a selling feature. Even if you have to pay, a small fee there will not be any doubt in your mind that you’ve overpaid for your diamond studs, or other diamond jewelry.
Sometimes a diamond that is disfigured can be enhanced by adding a glass type filler given the diamond the illusion of being much better than it is. You won’t be paying to much for lower quality diamonds.
