Almost anyone who is in the market for a diamond has learned about the "four C's" of diamonds. These four terms are considered the most important grades and categories: Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat Weight. This criteria is what jewelers use when grading diamonds, and they're the ones you'll need to understand to buy the right diamond for you. View our article on the "Four C's" now.

Diamond Certification is the less talked about "Fifth C".

The diamond certification, which is sometimes called a grading report, is a complete evaluation of your diamond that has been performed by a qualified professional with the help of special gemological instruments. Each stone bears its own recognizable, individual characteristics, which is listed on the certificate.

All DNA2Diamonds, one-quarter carat (0.25 ct.) and larger are individually and independently authenticated, inspected, measured and graded by the world's most highly respected, certified gemological laboratory: The Gemological Institute of America (GIA). All DNA2Diamonds are individually identified with a laser-engraved ID number on the girdle of the diamond.

As further assurance to you, a GIA certification form will be provided with your DNA2Diamond, detailing its cut, color, clarity and carat weight. GIA certification assures that your DNA2Diamond is a genuine diamond. The original GIA Certificate will accompany your diamond upon delivery.
