What Is Diamond Certification?

What Is Diamond Certification?

Diamond certification is documentation that includes diamond grading, the process through which a diamond’s quality and value is identified. A certified gemologist starts by grading a diamond based on the 4Cs — cut, color, clarity, and carat. They then record the results of their evaluation in their report.

The 4Cs determine a diamond’s worth — the larger the carat weight and the higher quality of cut, for example, will make a diamond more valuable. This is important information to have when purchasing your diamond, as well as insurance for your diamond.

A diamond certificate will have diamond grading listed alongside other pertinent information describing the diamond.

At VRAI, a diamond certificate goes beyond documenting a VRAI created diamond’s quality and value based on the 4Cs. VRAI diamond certification includes country of origin — all of our diamonds are grown in the United States. We also guarantee the grade of your diamond created by VRAI with our Full Lifetime Warranty and value guarantee.

The VRAI difference

From the moment VRAI created diamonds are grown from the first atom to the moment they reach our customers, they never leave our hands.

With the help of advanced equipment and scientific techniques, our foundry is in a unique position to assess the quality of every diamond we create. By utilizing technology to aid in the grading process, we have been able to measure and store more than one billion data points about each carat of diamond grown.

In other words, we are well-equipped to assess the quality of each diamond grown in our zero-emission foundry.

At VRAI, we utilize a carefully-selected group of GIA-trained gemologists who are certified to be diamond graders. We empower them with our data and technical advantages to create accurate diamond grades for our lab-grown diamonds. We then back this up with a full guarantee. While other diamond reports, including those from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), do not contain guarantees or carry disclaimers, our Diamond Certificate offers a GIA Gemologist Grading Report, and guarantees the grade of your VRAI created diamond, backed by a Full Lifetime Warranty.

In the unlikely case that your diamond turns out not to meet or exceed a grade stated on its certificate, our foundry will accept the return of the diamond and provide you with a refund of the full purchase price or replace it with a new VRAI created diamond that meets the graded characteristics.
