Your Engagement Ring Diamond
Did you get a diamond certification card when you/he bought/got your engagement ring? Need to know about this. Thanks.
Are you suppose to get this certification?

Re: Your Engagement Ring Diamon
it is not a necessity, but strongly adviseable that your diamond is certified by the AGS or GIA. these organizations ensure that the diamond that you are purchasing has been evaluated and graded (based on their standards).
i would also recommend going to a diamond dealer as opposed to a mall jeweler.

Re: Your Engagement Ring Diamond
Mine is a family stone and they didn't do it 60 years ago so I went and got one (need it to get insurance). Went to the Jewelry Judge to get it.

Re: Your Engagement Ring Diamond
Not all are certified. IGI is a certification type that does not mean much at all--our jeweler said that type is as good as not having any. If it was GIA, I don't know why he wouldn't have given it to him the day of. It's funny, when my FI proposed he handed me the ring, then he was like, here's the certificate that goes with it!

Re: Your Engagement Ring Diamond
So if my ring is not GIA, I should feel a bit disappointed? But the ring is beautiful! The diamond is amazing, even w/ the loop!

GIA and AGS are the most reputable certifications. i would ask why you were not shown the certfication upon viewing the stone. i don't think you should feel disappointed. if you love the stone and setting, that is all that really matters. i would suggest however, that you have the stone appraised by an independent party.

Thank you....The jeweler worked w/ us for 5 hours (3 different meetings) and I didn't think she was trying to rip us off or anything and then FH didn't get a Certification and then I wondered what was up...

Re: Your Engagement Ring Diamond
Well, there is nothing wrong witha diamond that isn't certified. You could send it to be certified if you wanted to (if you ever want to sell it)
Uncertified diamonds are a LOT less expensive so the issue is that you want to be sure you were not ripped off. YOu can't just say a diamond is 1 carat, G in color with SI2 clarity and that it is worth x amount. There are lots of other factors (flourescence, cut and table if it is round) Those are usually the things the dealer gets people on - especially on uncertified diamonds (most don't know to ask about that stuff)
Get it appraised and see if you overpaid. Do it soon so you can take it up with the jeweler if there is a problem.

Re: Your Engagement Ring Diamond
Mine came with GIA.
If it's not certified just go ahead and get it appraised by an independent to make sure you got what you paid for.
If you are happy that's all that matters.
