Lab Reports
The exact quality of a diamond is critical to its value. A diamond
improperly graded by only the slightest margin could dramatically affect
its perceived value. Often a conflict of interest may exist if someone
grades the diamond who may serve to gain or lose depending upon the
outcome of the examination. It is important that an independent
gemological laboratory grade your diamond. Such a laboratory should be
internationally recognized for the highest standards and institutional
ethics. The Gemological
Institute of America (GIA) and the
American Gem Society
(AGS) are internationally known and respected as premier research,
education, and gemological grading institutes. The scientific grading
reports provided by these laboratories examine the 4 C’s: Cut, Color,
Clarity and Carat-Weight. These reports are recognized around the world
as probably the finest opinions in existence.
