Diamond Certificates Guide

THIRD-PARTY LABORATORY CERTIFICATES

Anjolee works closely with accredited gemological laboratories. Upon your request we will send your jewelry, or loose diamonds, to be certified with these third-party laboratories:

GEMOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF AMERICA(GIA)

The GIA specializes in certifying loose diamonds. Each diamond they certify comes with its own documentation.

Because of their stringent certification process, certifying diamonds with the GIA is recommended for diamond stud earrings and for the center stones of engagement rings. Certifying diamond jewelry items such as a diamond tennis bracelet or diamond necklace, however, is usually not cost effective, as the charge is applied per stone certificate.

The IGI certifies completed pieces of diamond jewelry.The IGI is totally independent of all commercial sales organizations and does not trade in diamonds or precious stones. The IGI, an unbiased source for appraisals, provides accurate appraisals and identification reports.

It thoroughly documents the jewelry ́s identification according to weight, measurements, shape, cut, finish, proportions, clarity, color, and the quantity of precious stones. Documentation also includes the item ́s precious metals (i.e. by weight and content).

To further identify the item, an enlarged color photograph is provided as well as a diagram indicating inclusions in the case of diamonds (.95 ct. and above). Finally, the Appraisal Report states the estimated retail replacement value for insurance purposes.
