The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) established the universal standard for assessing diamond quality: the 4Cs (Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight).

A GIA report is an impartial, scientific blueprint detailing these characteristics. This certification confirms a diamond's quality, provides an objective description, and helps ensure buyer confidence by linking the stone to its unique, official documentation.

The International Gemological Institute (IGI) is a globally recognized independent organization that provides expert grading and certification for natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, colored stones, and finished jewelry.

It evaluates characteristics like the 4 Cs (carat, cut, color, clarity), ensuring authenticity and fostering consumer confidence and trust in the international gem and jewelry trade.

IGI is known for its extensive network and pioneering role in certifying lab-grown diamonds.

The HRD, or Hoge Raad voor Diamant (Diamond High Council), is Europe's leading authority for diamond certification, established in Antwerp, Belgium. It provides detailed, objective grading reports for diamonds, primarily using the "4Cs" (carat, color, clarity, and cut), along with other characteristics like finish and proportions. An HRD certificate assures a diamond's authenticity, quality, and value, building consumer confidence in the European diamond trade.
