Experience the Confidence of GIA Certified Diamonds

Standard of Excellence

When you select a diamond with a GIA certificate, you can be confident you are investing in a truly exceptional gem. GIA certificates are highly valued and trusted throughout the industry, guaranteeing reliable and consistent grading. In addition, each diamond is examined by three to six independent gemmologists, ensuring the utmost accuracy in determining its quality and authenticity.

Carat, Cut, Colour, and Clarity

Unveiling the 4C’s

With a GIA certificate, you receive a comprehensive analysis of your diamond's characteristics, known as the 4C’s: Carat, Cut, Colour, and Clarity.

These factors are crucial in determining a diamond's value and beauty.

Carat: The weight of the diamond directly influences its size.

Cut: The quality of the diamond's cut affects its brilliance and sparkle.

Colour: The presence of any colouration within the diamond, graded on a scale from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown).

Clarity: The degree of imperfections or inclusions within the diamond, evaluated on a scale from Flawless to Included.

Identification and Security

Laser Inscription

To further guarantee the integrity and security of your diamond, every diamond over .30ct is laser inscribed with a unique identification number. This number corresponds to the information recorded on the GIA certificate, providing an additional layer of assurance and peace of mind.
