Diamond Grading Reports
GIA Gem Trade
Laboratory reports are regarded throughout the gem and jewelry
industry wordwide as the hallmark of integrity, reliability,
and consistency in gemological services and research. No
other system has the clarity and universal acceptance of the
GIA scale.
Most of the diamonds
sold at Personal Touch Jewelers have been sent to the GIA Gem
Trade Laboratory for identification and grading. The reports
are available for customer's inspection prior to purchase and
given to them upon purchase.
Displayed below is a
sample of a GIA Diamond Grading Report. It is displayed as an
example of a report that may be issued after grading,
examination and/or analysis by GIA Gem Trade Laboratory, an
independent lab unrelated to the client or seller. It is
provided as information for the consumer. The form may not be
copied or used for any other purpose without the express
written consent of GIA Gem Trade Laboratory.
The actual inclusions for each diamond are
mapped and displayed on a two-dimensional drawing using
symbols. The dimensions of the diamond are listed, as well as
the carat weight, cut
proportions, color and clarity.
If the diamond is laser-inscribed, that number will be
cross-referenced on the GIA grading report.
Many times smaller diamonds are graded in
the laboratory and a "dossier" is produced.
This is a shorter form of the GIA grading report, including
everything except the mapping of inclusions. Shown below is an
example of a GIA Dossier Report.
