Certified Diamonds

Many discerning jewelry buyers are interested in purchasing a certified gemstone. Therefore, REEDS Jewelers offers certain diamonds in our stores and on our website that have been certified. This means they have been inspected by an independent organization that will provide written documentation about the quality of the diamond depending on the cut, clarity, and color and carat weight.

These reports are unique to each diamond and include a diagram that will designate any natural occurrences associated with the diamond. Often, an ID number matching that of the diamond's certificate is laser inscribed on the girdle of the stone, providing an extra measure of security and value to the buyer.

There are several organizations that provide certification, and the reports from these various organizations will vary. One of the better known of these organizations is Gemological Institute of America's Gem Trade Laboratory. Referred to as GIA, this non- profit organization is also responsible for education and research for the diamond industry. The diamonds from REEDS Jewelers will have certifications from this institute as well as others in the industry.
