Types of natural diamond grading reports.

The GIA Diamond Grading Report. 

This report uses the universally accepted GIA standards to determine a natural diamond’s shape, color, clarity, cut and carat weight – as well as proportions, finish and treatments. It also includes a plotted diagram which maps your diamond, identifying its unique characteristics.  

The GIA Diamond Origin Report. 

In addition to a full, unbiased 4Cs assessment, this report also identifies a natural diamond’s country of origin.

The GIA Diamond Dossier®.

A compact and concise version of the GIA Diamond Grading Report available for natural diamonds that weigh between 0.15 and 1.99 carats. This report includes all the important 4Cs grading results but does not include the plotted diagram. 

Online-Only Reports.

The GIA Diamond eReport and the GIA Diamond Focus Report both include full 4Cs grading results. The GIA Diamond eReport, which includes a face-up diamond image, is available for loose, natural D-to-Z color diamonds only, weighing 0.15-2.99 carats. The GIA Diamond Focus Report is available for select loose, natural diamonds under 0.40 carats.

Knowing your diamond's quality is the key to making a wise purchase.

Evaluating diamonds with the naked eye can only reveal so much. A lot of what makes a diamond more brilliant, spectacular, and ultimately more valuable isn’t always obvious. With a GIA report, you can confirm the quality of your diamond before making a purchase.

Similar to an appraisal of your home, or the registration for your vehicle, GIA reports offer unbiased information and expert documentation of your diamond. Not only will the report determine whether it is a natural diamond, but it will also assess the 4Cs of color, clarity, cut and carat weight, with disclosures for any treatments. From identifying inclusions and blemishes to determining if it has fluorescence, the best way to know your diamond is with a GIA report.  

GIA is the trusted authority on diamond quality.

A GIA report can also help you prove quality should you ever wish to resell your diamond. A GIA report is the best way to evaluate and document your diamond’s unique characteristics.  

GIA reports aren’t just revered by diamond buyers, they are trusted by jewelers and other diamond professionals around the globe for their impartial and accurate evaluations. Anywhere in the world, a GIA report stands for trusted quality.  

As a nonprofit research and education institute, we do not sell gems or jewelry, or represent people who sell them. GIA is an independent, impartial entity that conducts research, grades diamonds and gems, and educates students, professionals and the public on the quality of these materials.

Ask your jeweler for a GIA report.

The most convenient way to obtain an official GIA report is through your jeweler. Retail jewelers are not just the easiest way to obtain a GIA report, but they are also capable of clearly explaining the report to you.

Every diamond evaluated by GIA is cataloged with a GIA report number. The data is stored in our database and can be accessed anytime through Report Check on GIA’s website.

GIA only provides diamond grading reports on unmounted diamonds, excluding simulants, mounted laboratory-grown diamonds and any laboratory-grown diamond that has received an unstable treatment. Fees are determined by the diamond’s weight. For more information or assistance, you may contact a client services representative at a GIA laboratory near you.
