Before purchasing a diamond, you should expect to review a copy of its certificate as proof that it has undergone an unbiased, professional examination. WHAT'S THE CERTIFICATE?
A diamond certificate, also called a diamond grading report , diamond dossier ® , or diamond quality document , is a report created by a team of gemologists. The diamond is evaluated, measured, and scrutinized using trained eyes, a jeweler's loupe, a microscope, and other industry tools. A completed certificate includes an analysis of the diamond's dimensions, clarity, color, polish, symmetry, and other characteristics. Many round diamonds will also include a cut grade on the report.
DDS DIAMONDS ARE CERTIFIED
Every loose diamond sold by DDS has been analyzed and graded by either the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the International Gemological Institute (IGI) . These two laboratories are among the most respected laboratories in the diamond industry, and are known for their consistency and unbiased diamond grading systems. Diamonds that are accompanied by these grading reports are the most highly valued in the industry.

In addition to being graded by either the GIA or the IGI, all DDS Collection diamonds are certified by IGI . This additional certification provides a second independent and authoritative analysis of your diamond. IGI also verifies that your diamond meets all of the demanding quality requirements of the DDS Collection . VIEW CERTIFICATE WHILE SHOPPING
