Gia Certified Diamonds
By elsarings.com
Most savvy diamond shoppers understand the importance of getting a proper diamond certificate, and GIA certified diamonds are the most meticulously evaluated gems in the world.
What is GIA?
Founded in 1931, the Gemological Institute of America (http://www.gia.edu) (GIA) is the world’s foremost authority on diamond quality. GIA developed the industry standards for grading diamonds, including the essential 4 Cs: cut, clarity, color, and carats. GIA is not a jeweler, however: it is a non-profit research and educational institution dedicated to preserving honesty and integrity in the diamond industry as well as fostering public trust in fine gems and jewelry. More than 1,100 employees in research centers, grading labs, and classrooms throughout the world – including New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Moscow, and many more locations – seek to represent the best of the diamond industry through meticulous work and dedication.
The GIA has been questioned by the White House and Congress on matters relating to gemology, and a degree from GIA is a prestigious credential. GIA has graded many famous gems, including crown jewels, celebrities’ stones, and the revered Hope Diamond.
Benefits of GIA Certified Diamonds

Consumers should note, however, that a quality certificate is not the same as an appraisal: the grading report does not assign any value to the stone, it simply reports in great detail on its quality. Precise measurements, internal and external flaws, color, weight, and other characteristics are rigorously verified through multiple inspections, and an appraiser may use that information when they do assign value to a diamond.
Buying GIA certified diamonds can help consumers in several ways. Because the institute’s standards are well known and respected, a certified stone’s credentials are unlikely to be questioned, and an appraisal will not be suspect. With the certificate, it can be easier to recover the stone if it is lost or stolen, and if at some point the owner wishes to upgrade the diamond jewelry, it will be easier to find a similar
