Authenticity and Certification

 Value of every precious stone is determined by its gemological makeup, natural rarity and finished quality. Diamonds and gemstones of similar appearance can have important differences in value. These differences require powerful analytic tools to detect synthetics, treatments and enhancement processes. An Authentication Certificate clearly discloses the details of any item it accompanies, providing confidence for both buyer and seller. Regardless of location or marketplace, an authentic Laboratory Report is the common language of trust and confidence in the gemological world, and should be considered an essential part of any transaction. We take this responsibility very seriously, hence all of our jewelry pieces undergo rigorous quality and authenticity testing, and are accompanied with certifications. 

Our Certification Partners:

 

GIA

The Gemological Institute of America commonly abbreviated as GIA was established in 1931 and has been one of the leading authorities on diamonds, gemstones as well as pearls. Since its inception, it has stood to protect the interests of buyers and sellers across the world by ensuring standards to authenticate a gemstone's quality. The inventors of the 4C's - cut, clarity, color and carat weight, they established the parameters that help choose quality diamonds, and today, these parameters are the standard in case of gem trade. It has also, since time immemorial, remained a leading source of gem and jewelry information for trading purposes as well as for the public and other worldwide media outlets. The 4C's - Cut, clarity, color and Carat weight represent the key characteristics that help determine the quality and the value of a diamond. At the GIA laboratories, a comprehensive report helps analyze the quality of the diamond. With an increase in the number of consumers looking for authentication on the diamond purchased, GIA has ensured that the certification it offers provides accurate details to the consumer.

Subeez team has undergone rigorous training at GIA and is a certified partner.
