How to read "Diamond Appraisal Certificate"

Most jewelry stores or diamond specialty stores sell diamond jewelry with a diamond identification certificate, which is appropriately called the ID card of diamond jewelry. So, how do consumers know the quality of diamonds through diamond identification certificates?

First of all, it is necessary to determine the authenticity of the appraisal certificate. Only the diamond appraisal certificate issued by the jewelry inspection department authorized by the state technical supervision agency has legal effect. These certificates have the measurement certification mark of the national technical supervision department and the seal of the inspection unit. Some testing units have not been authorized by the state, and the appraisal certificates issued by them have no legal effect. Moreover, such certificates are often deceptive, and some detection indicators are untrue, which is likely to become a tool to mislead consumers;

Second,? Check whether the identification number and photo are the same as the style you selected. Since the identification certificate is the ID card of diamond jewelry, the number and photo should correspond to the real thing one by one;

Third,? It is necessary to check whether the appearance characteristics of jewelry described in the appraisal certificate are consistent with the real thing. For example, whether the description of diamond's shape, size, total weight and appearance characteristics are consistent with diamond ornaments and whether the fluorescence characteristics are consistent with diamonds;

Fourth, check whether there are signatures of appraisers and examiners on the appraisal certificate. ? In addition, the appraisal certificate can only be used as a reference for you to buy diamonds, and it does not represent all the quality of diamonds. If you want to buy genuine diamond ornaments, you must know the "4C" standard and go to a reputable jewelry store to buy them.

American GIA? The difference between certificate and national inspection certificate

Answers to related questions

1.？ Will GIA certificate or laser number be fake?

Absolutely not. GIA certificates are all issued by a diamond, a number corresponds to only one diamond, and a diamond only issues one certificate. GIA will not reissue the certificate of this diamond if it is lost. So consumers can rest assured, but they must go to a merchant with GIA certificate to buy diamonds.

2. Why is the level of international rough diamond certificate different from that of domestic certificate?

This is a very common problem now. Some friends often complain that the clarity level of the international rough stone certificate is "VVS", but it is "VS" in some domestic testing institutions. Or it is clear that the color of the international certificate is "F", but it is only "H" when it comes to national inspection. What's going on here? Many people say that the testing standards of the national inspection are too strict, or that "only the strictest is not the most accurate", because diamonds that can be "VVS" in the national inspection can be done with almost no inclusions under a magnifying glass of ten times ~ because we use a magnifying glass of ten times to pick diamonds, while the national inspection uses a microscope of more than twenty times.

But then again, the strict requirements of the national inspection are aimed at the classification of inlaid diamonds. Please note that this is the classification certificate of "inlaid diamonds", and the classification certificate of loose diamonds made by the national inspection is definitely not so harsh.

3. Why is the certificate of diamond setting so harsh?

This is because the judgment of diamond grade after inlay will be influenced by many factors.

Let's talk about color first: Only naked diamonds can compare colors correctly, because there are many strict requirements for the color grading of diamonds. When grading bare diamonds, the table must be downward than the waist edge with the richest color of diamonds, while the table inlaid with diamonds is upward, so that the fire color of diamonds will largely cover the body color of diamonds. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately judge the color grade of diamonds when the table is facing up. Moreover, after the diamond is inlaid, the color will be affected by the color of the surrounding inlaid metal. If the side is equipped with white metal, the color of the diamond will be white, and when it is surrounded by yellow metal, the color of the diamond will also be yellow ~

Therefore, if the metal inlaid around the diamond is white, the detector will consciously reduce the color of the diamond, so there will be deviation in the color scale judgment.

However, please note that when the color of the diamond itself is higher, this deviation will be even greater.

This is because "H" color diamonds basically have no yellow tone in the color classification of diamonds, while "D-G" high-grade diamonds do not mean that the higher the grade, the whiter the color, but that the higher the color grade, the more transparent the diamond, so the "D" color diamonds are very transparent, not very white, which must be noted, because it can be observed when comparing standard diamonds with colored stones.

Therefore, when judging the mosaic grade of this high-colored diamond, it is very easy to have a big deviation, because as I said before, diamonds in this range are more transparent than others, and there is no yellow tone, and the human eye is far more sensitive to the depth of yellow tone than to the transparency. Moreover, at this time, the diamond has been inlaid, and different styles have different degrees of concealment for the diamond, so it is very difficult.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the color grade of high-color inlaid diamonds will be different from the original bare stones.

Let's talk about clarity first: it is impossible to judge the clarity of inlaid diamonds.

Because the purity grading of bare diamonds is to check the crown, pavilion and waist ~, while the purity grading of inlaid diamonds can only be observed from the crown, and some can check the waist, but due to the limitation of style, it is almost impossible to check the purity of diamonds from the pavilion ~

Anyone who has been engaged in diamond classification knows that many inclusions in diamonds may not be observed from the crown, but they are very easy to see from the pavilion.

There is also a very important point: when a diamond is inlaid, it will definitely come into contact with the metal, that is to say, after the diamond is inlaid, some parts will be blocked by claws, or when it is inlaid, the outer ring of the diamond will be surrounded by metal. At this time, when checking the clarity of the inlaid diamonds, these places covered by metal are simply invisible, that is to say, it is impossible for inspectors to take out the inlaid diamonds for a comprehensive inspection.

Therefore, there are many blind spots in the clarity inspection of inlaid diamonds. In other words, if the clarity grade of inlaid diamonds is "VVS", perhaps the grade of loose diamonds may not be "VS".

Therefore, the clarity level of inlaid diamonds will be very demanding.

4. Will diamonds with GIA rough diamond grading certificate be downgraded when they arrive at the national inspection?

Answer: No.

If all my friends have read it carefully, I believe they will have a good idea of how to judge the level of national inspection.

The reason why the national inspection and some domestic testing institutions downgrade some diamonds with international certificates is not because the inspectors of the national inspection are incompetent, because they can't judge the grade, so they will only be downgraded, or because the inspectors have no "relationship" with the testing institutions, they will downgrade diamonds with sufficient grade.

When domestic testing institutions determine that the inlaid diamond is the one on the international certificate, they will refer to the grade on the original stone certificate and make their own grade judgment. I believe that if the rough diamond grading certificate is also issued in China, the grade will definitely not be very different from GIA's rough diamond certificate, but if it is inlaid, there will still be some differences. I believe that friends who have carefully read the above reasons will understand that when domestic testing institutions confirm that the inlaid diamond is this one on the international certificate, they refer to the grade on the original stone certificate to make their own grade judgment. I believe that if the rough diamond grading certificate is also issued in the national inspection, the grade will definitely not be very different from GIA's rough diamond certificate, but if it is inlaid, there will still be some differences. I believe that friends who have carefully read the above reasons will understand.
