"I have always felt a gift diamond shines so much better than one you buy for yourself!" Famous Quotation by Mae West It’s not necessary that a gifted diamond should shine better than what’s bought for one self. Unless, if one buys it with a watchful eye and from a trusted jeweler. Valid certifications accompanied with diamonds bought, determine authenticity and the right worth for your precious diamonds. Q. What is a Certificate? A Certificate is like a report card of a diamond. It consists of quantitative and qualitative analysis of 4Cs (color, cut, clarity and carat weight) of a gemstone. It’s an identity card for an authentic specimen of any of colored gemstones and diamond. Be it loose or set within jewelry, certificates should always accompany the product purchased. They say that a diamond over1carat in weight should be certified with reputed laboratories. Therefore, it’s suggested to buyers and connoisseurs to always buy diamonds from a jeweler who provides certificates from a reputed one. The reputed laboratories are named as GIA or the American Gemological Laboratories (AGL). They circulate such certificates before stone is set. Moreover, it describes the stone wholly, along with its size and proportioning. In an unlikely case, when a fine diamond above 1 carat purchased, doesn’t accompany a report like above, then it’s strongly recommended to have it evaluated through GIA or another respected gemological establishment. Extensive demands by customers for such certificates have increased the awareness amongst people lately. Therefore, unfortunately, several fraudulent jewelers or sellers try faith of customers by selling cheap imitations by claiming them to be high valued and demanded gemstones. This usually occurs in places which are known as sources of such gemstones. For example, Colombian emeralds are mostly found in Muzo mines in Colombia. Therefore, mainly tourists become victims of such misleading vendors. Similarly, such cases often happen during occasions and festivities like Christmas, New Year, or Valentine’s Day. As season of love is approaching, various leading jewelers are about to introduce fresh and innovative diamond styles in their catalogues. Therefore, to conclude, it’s always wise to be smart enough and act clever while buying diamond jewelry or loose stones and insist on valid certificates accompanied. This will not only ensure a smooth initiation of your planned Valentine’s Day and also assure results of your love life.
