What is Lab-Grown Diamond Certification?
A diamond certificate is a report created by an objective third-party laboratory. With no stake in the sale of the diamond, the lab evaluates the diamond on its own merit, describing its appearance and unique characteristics without bias. Every lab-grown diamond should come with a lab certification. Expert jewellers examine and measure the diamond with a loupe or microscope and report their findings on the certificate. This document will outline the various attributes of the stone, including the cut, colour and clarity grade.
What is IGI Certification?
The best certification for lab-created diamonds is the IGI (International Gemological Institute), as they provide specific gradings for the four C’s. The IGI is the most popular lab-created diamond certifier and is used by most of the lab market, creating a consistency in grading across the lab-grown diamond industry. This allows the consumers to easily compare lab-grown diamonds and to be assured they’re getting what they’re paying for.
