Certified Diamonds, Why It Matters

Certified Diamonds

Certified Diamonds is a significant investment, and certification is crucial for ensuring that the diamond meets specific standards of quality and authenticity. At BVW Jewelers, we offer a wide selection of GIA and AGS certified diamonds. As a result, you can confidently choose a diamond, knowing it has been evaluated by the most reputable gemological institutes in the world.

What Is a Certified Diamond?

A certified diamond is one that has been evaluated and graded by an independent gemological laboratory, such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the American Gem Society (AGS). These certificates provide detailed information about the diamond's characteristics, including its cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. Additionally, certification includes any other relevant details that affect the diamond’s value and quality.

Moreover, certification from reputable organizations like the GIA and AGS ensures that the diamond has been accurately assessed. Consequently, you can be assured that it is free from enhancements or treatments that could affect its natural beauty and value.

The Importance of Diamond Certification

Diamond certification is important because it provides an unbiased evaluation of the diamond's quality. When you purchase a certified diamond, you receive a report that details the diamond's 4Cs and any unique features, allowing you to make an informed decision about your purchase.

In addition, certification helps protect your investment by ensuring that the diamond's characteristics are accurately represented. This is especially important if you ever decide to sell or insure your diamond. Furthermore, the certification serves as a reliable record of the diamond's value and quality.

GIA vs. AGS Certification

At BVW Jewelers, we offer diamonds certified by both the GIA and AGS, two of the most respected gemological laboratories in the world. Here’s a quick comparison of the two:

GIA Certification

The GIA is known for its strict grading standards and comprehensive reports. A GIA certificate provides detailed information about the diamond's 4Cs, as well as its fluorescence, symmetry, and polish. Therefore, GIA certification is widely recognized as the gold standard in the industry.

AGS Certification

The AGS is also highly regarded for its precision and accuracy in grading diamonds. AGS certification focuses on the cut quality, with a unique 0-10 scale that evaluates the diamond's light performance. Hence, an AGS certificate is an excellent choice if you prioritize the cut of your diamond.

Both certifications offer assurance of the diamond's quality. Thus, the choice between GIA and AGS may depend on your specific preferences and priorities.
