WHO IS THE GIA?
GIA, the Gemological Institute of America. was established in 1931 and is recognized worldwide as the foremost authority on diamonds and other gemstones. When buying diamonds and other gemstones it is important to have a GIA certificate that describes every detail about the stone as well as it’s own identification number.
WHY ARE NATURAL FANCY COLORED DIAMONDS A GOOD INVESTMENT?
It’s a simple matter of supply and demand. The demand for rare fancy colored diamonds has increased significantly over the years while supply is exceedingly limited. In fact, prices are expected to increase sharply in the near future due to a number of reasons including the closing of one of the largest colored diamond producers, the Argyle Mine in Australia due in 2018. These beautiful stones are an alternative, a hard asset that can truly diversify your investment portfolio and add the dynamic of portable wealth in your possession that not even precious metals can provide.
IS THE QUALITY GUARANTEED?
Our diamonds and gemstones are accurately graded by expert gemologists at the most respected gemological laboratories like the GIA (the Gemological Institute of America) and are accompanied with a certificate.
COULD COLORED DIAMONDS LOSE VALUE?
It is very unlikely that your colored diamond will lose value. These stones have experienced unprecedented increases in value over recent years due to supply and demand. Also, consider the fact that they can be considered as a hedge against inflation in uncertain economic times and have outperformed precious metals like gold and silver.
HOW ARE NATURAL COLORED DIAMONDS GRADED?
Cut and clarity are not as important when choosing colored diamonds as it is with white diamonds. White diamonds are graded from D to Z while Fancy Colored Diamonds are graded by Light, Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, Fancy Deep, Fancy Dark, and Fancy Vivid. The more intense the color, the greater the value and individual colors have greater value than a diamond with a secondary hue.
WHAT IS GIA CERTIFICATION?
Certification has become known as the “5th C” when grading and categorizing diamonds and precious gemstones. This provides independent third party assurance by reputed experts at gemological laboratories like the GIA (Gemological Institute of America). Buyers receive a complete scientific report of their gemstone. Specific details are recorded of the stone like color, the clarity, the carat weight, cut, and occasionally the origin of the stone are all included in the certification.
