EGL CERTIFICATES
The internationally recognized EGL International Diamond Report (established in 1974) is your diamond's DNA.
It independently certifies your diamond's carat weight, clarity, color grading, cut and other vital details.
The only way to separate one diamond from another is by expert opinion from a professional gemmologists, such as the EGL (European Gemological Laboratory). EGL use powerful analytical tools, and their experts have years of experience in grading diamonds.
For us, an EGL certificate is a real “seal of quality”. It assures you that the diamond you have chosen is nothing less than it should be.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
It means that the diamond you are buying has been through a rigorous and independent testing process and the certificate you receive with your jewellery reflects its true qualities.
EGL certified diamonds are also laser-inscribed with their certificate number. This is a further security measure to ensure the certificate you receive really matches the diamond you have purchased. The laser inscription is tiny and discreet and not visible to the naked eye.

DOES THIS MAKE AN EGL CERTIFIED DIAMOND MORE VALUABLE?
Yes, without question a diamond that has an EGL certificate is much more valuable and more sought after than a non-EGL certified diamond.
The report, together with the laser inscription, gives any buyer or new owner of your diamond the same peace of mind it gave you when you purchased it.

WHY IS AN EGL CERTIFIED DIAMOND MORE EXPENSIVE THAN AN SKD CERTIFIED DIAMOND?
