The Most Famous Diamonds in the World

Certified diamond or non-certified diamond, which one should I buy? Maybe that is the question that you may face when you want to buy diamond. Certified diamond will give you the peace of mind, but on the other hand, non-certified diamond prices are very tempting. I hope after you read this article will help you to choose which one that best for you.What is diamond certificate?Diamond grading report or oftenly called diamond certificate is a certificate that mention about loose diamond specification (diamonds clarity, cut, color and carat weight). This certificate issued by independent authorities and it not associate with any jeweler, so you can trust them.The Best Diamond Grading LabThere are many diamonds grading laboratory in the world. But the top three is the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), AGS (American Gem Society) and EGL (European Gemological Laboratory). GIA and AGS have a better reputation than EGL, I don’t know why people build that opinion. Some said that diamond graded by EGL, if you take it to the GIA, they will grade it lower. But for me, GIA, AGL and EGL are all the same. And why is that? Because I buy diamond that I like, not because GIA is better (or so what they said). If you buy diamond as the extra accessories for your ring or your jewelry, or you don’t have a plan to sell it again, you can buy non-certified diamond.You can use the money to buy better quality ring or jewelry that you use to mount the diamond than spend all of your money just for the diamond.
