The GIA Diamond Grading Report includes an assessment of a diamond’s 4C’s – colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight – along with a plotted diagram of its clarity characteristics and a graphic representation of the diamond’s proportions. For standard round brilliant cut diamonds falling in the D-to-Z colour range, the report also includes a GIA Cut grade.

The GIA laboratory issues diamond grading reports for loose, natural diamonds in the D-to-Z colour range that weigh 0.15 carats or more. GIA Diamond Grading Reports are not issued for laboratory-grown, simulants, mounted diamonds or those that have undergone unstable treatments, such as fracture filling or coating. And while reports may be issued for diamonds that have been laser drilled or HPHT processed, these stable treatments are prominently disclosed on the report.

The report includes a graphic representation of the diamond’s proportions, and the added feature of a detailed face up image of the diamond captured during the grading process.

Paperless and therefore environmentally friendly, the GIA Diamond eReport is accessible online via Report Check, GIA’s secure web-based report database, making the report always accessible and shareable. This service is available for natural, untreated diamonds in the D-to-Z colour range that weigh from 0.15 to 2.99 carats.

The GIA Colored Diamond Grading Report provides a full quality assessment of a coloured diamond including the coloured diamond colour grade, colour origin (natural or treated, such as HPHT processed or artificially irradiated), carat weight, clarity, and a plotted diagram of its clarity characteristics. As an optional service, a full colour image of the diamond may also be included.

Unlike GIA’s D-to-Z color grading system, which is based on the relative absence of colour, coloured diamond colour grading is based on the presence of colour. Using a controlled viewing and lighting environment and a comprehensive set of colour comparators, trained graders consistently determine the characteristic colour of a diamond and assign a colour grade (“pink,” for example). The hue chosen is modified by a “Fancy-grade” term, such as Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, Fancy Deep, Fancy Vivid or Fancy Dark, which describes the combined effect of tone and saturation.

The laboratory issues this report on loose, natural coloured diamonds weighing 0.15 carats or more. The GIA Colored Diamond Grading Report is not issued for laboratory-grown, simulants, mounted diamonds or those that have undergone unstable treatments, such as fracture-filling or coating. Any evidence of other treatment is prominently disclosed in the report.

The GIA Colored Diamond Identification and Origin Report is not issued for laboratory-grown, simulants, or diamonds that have undergone unstable treatments, such as fracture-filled or coated diamonds.
