If you buy a diamond online, I would very strongly suggest that you buy one that is graded by a recognized and respected laboratory like GIA or AGS. Many of the laboratories that grade stones are not consistent and this has hurt their reputation. If you send the same stone to a laboratory twice and get two different answers on clarity or color, what does that say about the laboratory?

Also never accept a certificate that lists a "retail value" or any other dollar value. There is never, ever a value on any certificate from any legitimate laboratory. This is impossible. Reputable laboratories do business on a global scale. Diamonds, like most products, are worth different amounts in different markets. How could a laboratory possibly list a value? Also, a grading report (calling it a "certificate" is actually a misnomer but is widely done) is meant to be a permanent assessment of a stone's value factors. While value factors like cut, color, and clarity will never change, value will change! See why a legitimate laboratory never lists a value?
