Before purchasing a diamond, you should expect to review a copy of its certificate, as this is your only guarantee of the quality and value of that diamond.
A diamond certificate, also called a diamond grading report, diamond dossier®, or diamond quality report, is a report created by a gemologist, or gemologists, who have scrutinized the diamond and placed it under a microscope to analyze its dimensions, clarity, cut, color, finish, symmetry, and other characteristics.
Every diamond sold by Redford Jewelry has been analyzed and graded by either the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the American Gem Society (AGS), or European Gemological Laboratory (EGL). Redford Jewelry works with these independent laboratories, as they are some of the most respected laboratories in the diamond industry. These two laboratories are known for having the most strict, consistent, and unbiased systems for grading diamonds. Diamonds that are accompanied by these grading reports are the most highly valued in the industry, as their quality is considered guaranteed.
