As your guarantee of quality and value, all loose diamonds from BrightDiamond.com come with a free diamond certification issued by a third-party gemological laboratory. This offer includes loose diamonds purchased separately as well as diamonds purchased through "Design Your Own Ring."
Your diamond certification (also called a "grading report" or "diamond dossier") details the cut, clarity, color, and carat weight of your loose diamond. It also includes a diagram of your diamond that is marked to show the locations of natural inclusions.

The certificate for your loose diamond will come from one of the following reputable, independent grading laboratories:

• Gemological Institute of America (GIA)
• American Gem Society (AGS)
• International Gemological Institute (IGI)

You can view online the certificate associated with many loose diamonds offered at BrightDiamond.com. If any certificate you wish to see is not available online, please call our diamond professionals at 1-866-362-3388 (within the United States) or e-mail us at info@Brightdiamond.com.

It is important to note that a diamond certificate is not the same as an appraisal. An appraisal estimates the monetary value of a particular item, usually for insurance purposes. A diamond certificate is an impartial, informed opinion made by an experienced gemologist.
