What is the Difference between certified and non-certified diamonds?
Why is there such a substancial markup in price for diamonds certified by expert organizations? Is a non-certified not a real diamond? Is a certified diamond worth the extra cost involved in purchasing it? Are the qualities of a non-certified diamond (clarity, cut, color, etc.) identifiable if no expert organization or gemologists has given it a certification?
A diamond is a diamond. In the United States, and probably in most countries, it would be against the law for a store to call something a diamond if it is not. A certified diamond means that its qualities have been measured and quantified, and printed on a bit of paper that you get with purchase. A noncertified diamond means that its qualities have not been necessarily measured in any way. The diamond may be of higher or lower quality than stated. Certified diamonds are more expensive than non-certified because not only do they look pretty, but they have the papers to prove that they are that pretty and valuable, and they usually have a serial number that gets stamped on the piece of jewelry and on the certification paper, to positively identify the piece.
It’s kind of like the difference between a purebred dog and a dog without any papers, that looks the same. If you’re interested in the investment value, or if you’re spending more than a hundred or two dollars, you probably want to buy certified, for the guarantee of the stone’s value. If you really don’t care about quality and just want a pretty diamond, or if you have a habit of losing things like I do, uncertified probably meets your needs.
The qualities can be identified on an uncertified diamond; lack of certification simply means that the qualities haven’t specifically been measured and recorded. They are certified by independent groups, not by the jeweler who’s selling it to you.
