How to Evaluate a Diamond Grading Certificate

How To

A diamond grading certificate or report is like a “fingerprint” for the diamond, describing the stone in technical detail so that its value and identity can be verified. It does not assign monetary value to the stone, as an appraisal does, and is only provided for loose diamonds. If you are purchasing a diamond, it’s important to ask for and know how to read a grading report so you can make sure you’re getting what you pay for.
