of a diamond and rule out the possibility of it being synthetic or an imitation.

of a diamond's 4Cs - color, clarity, cut and carat. The certificates
description of the diamond includes: a unique ID number, weight, colour grade,
clarity grade, shape, measurements, proportions, proportion grade, finish grade,
fluorescence, hue and other remarks. These quality characteristics determine the
value of the diamond.

Why is using an independent laboratory important?
More...
-
Why independent?
This assures an unbiased and objective evaluation of
the diamond. Often a conflict of interest may exist if the same person selling
the diamond determines the grade.
-
Why a laboratory?
A good lab will have advanced equipment providing for
a more accurate assessment. Certain characteristics, such as treatments and
enhancements, will only be detected and disclosed by a specialist laboratory.
-
Why are certificates important?
Without a diamond grading report,
unscrupulous dealers are able to sell treated, poorly made and incorrectly
graded diamonds to unsuspecting customers. Diamond certificates from independent
laboratories allow you to confidently compare diamonds with the same qualities
and attributes amongst various jewellery stores.

What are conflict diamonds?
In 1998, Global Witness, a non-governmental organisation (NGO),
made the world aware that certain rebel movements in Africa were selling,
amongst other things, illegally obtained diamonds, known as conflict diamonds,
to fund their wars against legitimate and internationally recognised
governments.
Gillett’s has a policy of zero-tolerance towards conflict
diamonds. Measures such as the Kimberley Process, which tracks diamonds from
mine to market, makes it possible for the industry in partnership with the
United Nations, governments, and non-governmental organizations to police
diamond exports to prevent the trade of illegal diamonds.
Today, over 99% of the world's supply of diamonds is from
sources free of conflict as a result of these measures.
Gillett’s Jewellers only purchase diamonds through the most
respected diamond suppliers who adhere to and enforce the standards established
by the Kimberley Process.
Diamonds are mined throughout the world, including major mines
in Australia, Russia, Africa and Canada. Diamonds are a major source of economic
support in African countries, which employs and enables the provision of health
care to thousands. For more information on this issue, see DiamondFacts.org.
