Diamond certification

Diamond certification is a process where a gemological institute evaluates and grades a diamond based on specific criteria, primarily the "Four Cs": carat weight, cut, color, and clarity. This certification provides a detailed report that confirms the diamond's quality and authenticity, enabling buyers to make informed purchasing decisions. Certified diamonds are often considered more reliable because they come with an impartial assessment, which adds to their value and trustworthiness. Common certification bodies include the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the American Gem Society (AGS).
