Certified diamonds
A diamond certificate (also called a "diamond grading report") is a document containing the characteristics about the diamond that will make up its value. It is the pedigree that goes with the diamond and becomes a valuable document in case of loss because it will ensure that your insurance company will replace your stone with another certified stone of like quality. Certificates are not appraisals since they do not contain any information regarding the value or price of a diamond.

Grading laboratories like the HRD and IGI measure and grade diamonds sent to them by wholesalers and retailers. They provide documents called certifications describing the diamond.

Be aware of retailers who issue their own in-house certifications. We can only think of one reason that a retailer would issue their own certification opposed to an independent laboratory certification, and that is so they can exaggerate the color and clarity grades. The result is you are paying for quality that you are not getting in your diamond. In other words, you buy a diamond with paperwork saying it is G/VS2 quality when, in fact, it is I/SI1 quality by HRD or IGI standards.

Laser inscription
If you want to feel secure about the identity of your diamond forever, we recommend having it laser inscribed with your unique message and/or lab certificate number.

Laser inscription is the process that inscribes the girdle of the diamond (the middle area of the stone) and it is done with a microscopic laser beam. The precise heat of a tiny laser beam transforms a very thin layer (just a few atoms thick) of the diamond from transparent carbon crystal (diamond) into opaque carbon (graphite).

Anything can be inscribed on the girdle, from an identification number to a name or phrase. A trained jeweler, with the aid of the loupe (magnifying glass) will be able to read the inscription. Usually, brand name diamonds will carry their name or logo on the girdle. Most certified diamonds would be inscribed with their certificate number. Laser inscription does not change the color grade or clarity grade of a diamond.
