You don’t buy a gemstone every day. And when you do — you want to know what you’re really holding.
That’s why certification matters.
It’s more than a piece of paper. It’s an independent, professional statement of what your gemstone is — and what it isn’t.
It tells the truth, with clarity, detail and authority.
What Is a Gemstone Certificate?
A gemstone certificate (also called a gemological report) is an official document issued by a reputable gemological laboratory.
It includes:
- Stone type and species
- Weight (carats)
- Measurements
- Cut and shape
- Color, clarity, and any known treatments
- Origin (if determined)
- Lab confirmation that the gem is natural (not synthetic)
A certificate is not a valuation or price estimate — it’s about facts, not opinion.
Why It Matters to You
✅ Trust
You’re not just trusting the seller — you’re trusting science. Certification reduces subjectivity.
✅ Protection
If a stone is ever lost, resold or insured, the certificate supports its identity and value.
✅ Transparency
You know exactly what’s been done to the gem — and what hasn’t.
✅ Resale & Investment
Certified gems are easier to resell or appraise, and often maintain higher value.
