Third-Party Certificate - IGI

THIRD PARTY CERTIFICATE - IGI

Anjolee issues a free Certificate of Authenticity for each diamond jewelry order. If you require a third-party certificate, you have the option of purchasing one from the International Gemological Institute (IGI). To add a certificate to any order, simply click the checkbox on the product configuration under the diamond quality section. Anjolee will send the jewelry item to the IGI on your behalf and have the jewelry item appraised and certified. Adding a third party appraisal typically adds 5 business days to the estimated delivery date shown on our website. Once the IGI has completed the jewelry inspection and printed the appraisal, Anjolee will notify you via email that your package has been shipped. All certified orders include the jewelry, IGI certificate, and standard documents issued by Anjolee.

Each article of jewelry is independently examined by experience graduate gemologists working in unison with certified, accredited gem and jewelry appraisers. These gemological factors include the authenticity and weight of the precious metals, identification and the quality of diamonds and gemstones.

A color photo of the article of jewelry is also indicated with each summation. IGI’s seal of inspection will be attached to each article of jewelry appraised and upon request the unique S.O.A. report number and IGI logo will be engraved into the shank of the ring for identification purposes.

IGI’s Summation of Appraisal is available in several formats. The computer generated micro-cert format fits perfectly into IGI’s new Appraisal Summary. This credit card format is available in a passport holder or an IGI box as well.
