Question 1

Are GIA-certified diamonds better?

Accepted Answer

The GIA (Gemological Institute of America) is the most trustworthy and unbiased diamond authentication and certification institution. The institute considers numerous factors like cut, colour, clarity, and carat while assessing a diamond's quality. Thus, having a GIA certification assures you of reliability, transparency, and a standardized evaluation. It is always advised to buy diamonds that are certified by the GIA

Question 2

How do I verify the authenticity of a GIA certification?

Accepted Answer

All the loose lab diamonds from Friendly Diamonds come with authentication certificates from top diamond-grading institutions like GIA.

Additionally, GIA’s Report Check service can help you verify whether the information on the report matches what’s mentioned in their database. All you have to do is go to their official website, input the Reports Number, pass the CAPTCHA verification, and then get all the details about the diamond.
