ABOUT DIAMOND CERTIFICATES
Diamond certificates act as proof of authenticity and provide assurance that the diamond in question is the real deal and not a counterfeit stone such as cubic zirconia. A diamond certificate keeps essential information about the diamond, such as the 4Cs (cut, carat, color, clarity). It is also great to maintain a certificate if you wish to resell the diamond in the future. All certificates do not look the same, even though they might be from the same institution. Factors such as when the certificate was issued, and carat weight may affect the layout and exact information provided. When purchasing a diamond that is obligated for a certificate, you will receive the certificate in paper form, with the possibility of viewing an online version as well.
