Why do you only sell GIA certified diamonds and gemstones?

GIA is the largest and most trusted gemmological laboratory. A GIA report is more reliable than other laboratory reports and thus more trusted in the marketplace. GIA created the 4Cs methodology for grading diamonds. With a GIA report you can buy a diamond or gemstone with confidence. In addition, you can enter the GIA report number on GIA’s independent website to verify the details that we provide. Often the report number is inscribed on the diamond which provides an added guarantee. We appreciate this feature as it allows us to be more transparent. GIA has a reputation for being the most accurate lab. Quality is important to us and with GIA reports we ensure that our customers get the quality that they pay for.
