What It Comes With
A complete diamond certificate, detailing the diamond's characteristics.
What is diamond certification?
A diamond certificate or grading report is proof that your diamond has been examined by a professional gemologist with specialised equipment at an independent lab. The certificate will list several characteristics of the diamond. This will include the Dimensions, Carat Weight, Clarity and Colour.
Why is it important?
There can be such subtle differences between diamonds with different grades that it becomes impossible to see with the naked eye, and it is these subtle differences that can impact the value of the diamond greatly. For this reason, it is important to ensure your diamond has been graded independently to give you confidence that the diamond you receive matches the diamond specification you have purchased.
When should I expect a certificate?
Here at Six Carats, we offer two types of IGI certificates - for individual diamonds of 0.50ct and over or for jewellery pieces. Diamonds under 0.50ct will not come with their own independent diamond certificate. This is our standard practice.
GIA and IGI labs are widely recognised as the most prestigious and respected independent laboratories in the world. It must be noted not all laboratories are as strict as GIA and IGI. GIA and IGI set the standard when it comes to diamond grading. This is why GIA and IGI-certified diamonds tend to be sold at a higher price than others.
