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.
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.
