Important Information About Certified Diamonds

To a lay person entering a jewellery shop for the first time to purchase diamond jewellery, the excitement can be rather overwhelming. Therefore they may not be aware of certified diamonds. The importance of purchasing certified diamonds is paramount.

Diamonds by Moonlight ONLY sells certified diamonds.

The certificate is important as it not only establishes the fact that the diamond is real, but gives an analysis of the diamond with important features such as cut, carat. When you purchase a certified diamond, you know what you are paying for compared to “hearsay” from the jewellery store owner of an uncertified diamond.

A person buying a very expensive diamond will without fail request for the certificate. The certified diamond report will show the grindings such as colour, clarity, cut and carat. The report is detailed and contains sections on the imperfections, grain within the stone and the fluorescence. Sometimes, a sketch is provided within the report with the appropriate markings.

Why Is So Much Importance Given to Certified Diamonds?

With synthetic diamonds flooding the market, it is becoming harder to tell apart a real diamond from a fake! Therefore, it becomes essential to purchase a certified diamond as you are assured of authenticity.

If you ever have to get rid of your diamond jewellery, than by showing a certificate, you will be able to get a better deal as the diamond has been verified by a certified gemmologist. Furthermore, the person buying from you will be assured that what they are paying for is not fake and undervalued.

We at Diamond by Moonlight understand this and therefore will assist in any way we can to ensure, the diamond is certified.

GIA Certified Diamonds at Diamond by Moonlight

GIA (Gemmological Institute Of America) certified diamonds have worldwide reputation. They have set a world standard in diamond grading. Different labs offer different grading and there can be a vast difference in testing. Where possible, request for GIA certified diamonds from your jeweller or something of a very similar grading to ensure peace of mind.

People often mistake a certificate as a value of the diamond. The certification is about the actual quality of the diamond, not its cost. If you are having a piece of diamond jewellery valued by an appraiser, they will certainly look at the certificate to determine the value of the diamond.

Our grading certificates include the following information:

  • The name of the organisation which carried out the grading
  • Date the inspection was carried out
  • Cut
  • Carat Weight
  • Clarity Rating
  • Colour
  • Finish
  • Florescence
  • Proportions
