It’s easy to get distracted by the beauty of a diamond before and after purchasing it. But, do bear in mind, if you’re planning on buying a diamond it is extremely important to make sure you receive a diamond certificate. Here’s a few reasons why it’s important to make sure you walk away with a credible diamond certificate after purchasing a diamond:
1. A Jewelry Report is based on the gemological analysis of the Article, but also on data or documentation occasionally supplied therewith. Accompanying reports and hallmarks are accepted as factual, with the implicit understanding that GJLI does not guarantee, nor warranty their accuracy. Characteristics, weights and measurements are approximate when analyzed in mounted conditions (see “Comments” section on reverse).
2. Gemstones are sometimes enhanced or treated in order to improve their appearance. These processes, including synthetics, are not always identifiable in mounted conditions.
Opinions may vary as to the characteristics covered in this Report, and results of the examination performed on the diamond may differ depending by whom, when and how the diamond is examined; hence, neither GJLI nor any member of its staff shall, at any time, be held responsible for any discrepancy which may result from the application of other grading and/or identification methods.
In the event of any claim by the Client or any person for damage to the article(s), or damages resulting, directly or indirectly from this Report, the liability of GJLI shall be limited to the amount it receives as a fee in connection with this Report.
By making this Report GJLI does not agree to purchase or replace the article(s). Neither the Client nor any purchaser of the article(s) shall regard this Report as an appraisal or as a guaranty/warranty. GJLI operates as an independent laboratory and has no financial interest in the sale/purchase of any gemstone/jewelry.
