DIAMOND CERTIFICATES
A diamond certificate is a report created by a team of diamond experts in a gemmological laboratory.
Read more about each of these certificates below.
We provide 4 different certificates with our Jewellery, depending on the piece. These certificates are as follows:
Certificate of Valuation Certificate of Authenticity SKD Certificate Independent Certificate
A diamond certificate includes a detailed and impartial expert assessment of the diamond’s clarity, colour, cut, carat weight and other characteristics.
You may sometimes also hear a diamond certificate referred to as a diamond grading report, diamond quality document or diamond dossier.
The intention of a diamond certificate is to give you a thorough report on the diamond you have purchased. It confirms the diamond’s quality and authenticity and provides proof of your ownership.
The certificate available for your piece is indicated on the product page.

CERTIFICATE OF VALUATION
All of our jewellery comes with a Certificate of Valuation. This shows the recommended retail price (RRP) for the item, the name and address of the person who ordered it and the date of purchase.
The main purpose of this certificate is to prove ownership for insurance companies.
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
All our 18K & Platinum diamond and gemstone jewellery comes with The Diamond Store Certificate of Authenticity, or a diamond certificate (such as an SKD, GIA or IGI certificate).
This certificate shows an image and gives in-depth details of the jewellery that you have purchased. It also includes your name, the recommended retail price (RRP) for the item and a unique certificate number.
INDEPENDENT SKD CERTIFICATE
For all 18K and Platinum solitaire engagement rings, solitaire pendants at 0.25 carat and above, and diamond studs where each earring is over 0.25 carat or above, we provide an SKD certificate.
The SKD report is an in-depth report on the specific diamond that you have purchased. It acts as your proof of ownership and attests to the diamond’s authenticity and quality.
INDEPENDENT CERTIFICATES
For all 18K and platinum engagement rings with a carat weight over 0.5 carat, we provide an independent certificate.
The certificate is issued by one of the following official organisations: Gemological Institute of America (GIA), International Gemological Institute (IGI) or an independent SKD Certificate.
The purpose of these certificates is to provide an in-depth report on the diamond that you have purchased. They also act as proof of ownership, diamond authenticity and quality.
