Anatomy of a Diamond Grading Report

While a diamond is given as an expression of love or to celebrate a special occasion, it also represents a major investment in time and money. In order for your customer to be absolutely certain of what they’re buying it’s important to receive a GIA grading report, such as the GIA Diamond Grading Report or a GIA Diamond Dossier®. These reports represent the most highly respected and impartial assessment of diamond’s quality and authenticity.

GIA’s diamond-grading procedures are designed to be extremely accurate. Each diamond is subjected to the scrutiny and analysis of the Institute’s expert diamond graders and gemologists. And each diamond grading report details the Institute’s authoritative assessment of the 4Cs – color, clarity, cut, and carat weight.

All GIA diamond grading reports contain a hologram, background screen, and other security features that not only meet industry guidelines, but also exceed them. And, since GIA is not affiliated with any retailer, wholesaler, or manufacturer, you know that your GIA report represents the impartial opinion of unbiased professionals.
