About IGI Certified Lab Grown Diamonds
A product listing helps you narrow the options, the individual diamond’s report helps you check exactly what you are buying. Use both when comparing stones, particularly where a listing offers several carat weights and grouped color or clarity choices.
Understand the Listed Grade Combinations
Several listings offer combinations such as EF/VVS, EF/VS, GH/VVS, and GH/VS. These describe groups of possible grades rather than the exact result for one diamond.
For example, an EF option can refer to an E- or F-color diamond. VVS and VS each contain two clarity grades. Request the individual IGI report to confirm the precise color and clarity of the stone offered.
Compare prices using those exact grades alongside the other specifications. Two diamonds within the same listed group may still differ in their measurements, finish, and appearance.
Compare the Actual Stones, Not Only Their Grades
A grading report records important characteristics, but it does not replace seeing the diamond. Look at its outline, facet pattern, and appearance as it moves. For elongated stones, compare the length to width ratio to judge whether you prefer a broader or slimmer profile.
Keep polish, symmetry, and any cut grade separate when reading the report. They describe different aspects of the diamond, and the fields provided can vary with its shape and report format.
Plan Larger Diamonds Around Their Measurements
The assortment includes listings from 1–5 carats, 6–10 carats, and selected 11–15 carat options. Available weights depend on the shape and listing.
At larger sizes, confirm the length, width, and depth before finalizing a setting. The mounting must accommodate the diamond’s dimensions, and the finished piece may occupy considerably more space than its carat weight alone suggests.
If you already have a setting, have a jeweler assess compatibility first. A diamond with the same nominal weight as the original stone may still require changes to the mounting.
Confirm the Selected Diamond Before Ordering
Before you purchase a loose diamond get it's report number, grades, measurements and price out. Also see to it that the grade report is for the lab grown diamond you have chosen and that the images and videos are of that exact stone.
This will help you in your decision and give you more confidence in what you are buying.
