For Dummies: GIA Diamond Grading Reports. |
 GIA
offers two types of diamond grading reports: GIA Diamond Grading Report
and GIA Diamond Dossier. The GIA Diamond Grading Report is more
comprehensive and complete. One of the nice features of this report is
that it includes diagrams of the diamond showing the inclusions.
Diamonds with the same clarity grading can have different types of
inclusions in different locations within the diamond. This can affect
brilliance of the diamond.
The GIA Diamond Dossier does not show diagram of the diamond.
Although
the GIA Diamond Grading Report costs slightly more, it is worth it and
compare to the price of the diamond, the cost difference of the report
is negligible. If you are buying a diamond with SI or I clarity grades
(especially if buying online), it is more important to get the GIA
Diamond Grading Report to make sure the inclusion does not have big
impact on the brilliance of the diamond. Click here for more information on the GIA diamond report services: |
