Diamond Jewellery Certificates - The Diamond Store.co.uk
Different jewellers have different opinions as to the quality of diamond they are presenting. The small variations in opinion make a huge difference to the value of the diamond.
Although at The Diamond Store we guarantee our standards and qualities, there are certain purchases when you want more assurance.
Independent certification of a diamond quality produced by gemological laboratories with no vested interest in the product, are provided with certain products in our store.
Independent diamond certification means that your diamond has been thoroughly scrutinized by a team of professional gemologists and graded by worldwide international standards as set by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Using the latest technology they also make sure that the diamond is natural and identify any treatment it may have received to either improve its colour or clarity.
