When you purchase a GIA graded diamond, whether it is loose or mounted in jewellery, you should always request the diamond’s original GIA grading report to accompany your purchase. The report describes the diamond’s characteristics. This is the safest way of making sure you are getting exactly what you paid for.
Your diamond’s report can arrive in different formats. The 2 most popular formats are the full sized GIA diamond grading report and the simplified version, called a GIA diamond dossier. If you would like to know the differences click here.
Today, while one of our customer’s orders was being processed, we had a GIA diamond dossier on hand for a beautiful D-coloured, IF-clarity diamond. So we thought it was a great opportunity to show you how a real dossier looks like so that you can recognize it when you see one.
