GIA Certified Natural Diamonds
Trust GIA for Your Natural Diamond for Peace of Mind
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the world’s leading authority on diamonds, gemstones, and pearls. Founded in 1931, the GIA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to research, education, and the establishment of industry standards for gem grading. The GIA developed the universally accepted “4Cs” of diamond quality: cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. Also, GIA created grading scale that jewelers and consumers rely on to assess a diamond’s value. Through its laboratories and educational programs, the GIA promotes transparency, integrity, and knowledge in the jewelry industry, helping ensure that every gemstone is accurately identified and ethically represented.
What Is GIA Certification?
GIA certification is an official grading report issued by the Gemological Institute of America, the world’s most respected diamond authority. GIA provides an unbiased evaluation of a diamond’s cut, color, clarity, and carat weight, ensuring complete accuracy and trust in your purchase.
Why Is GIA Diamond Certification Important?
A GIA-certified diamond is guaranteed to have undergone an unbiased assessment of the diamond’s cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. When you purchase GIA-certified diamonds, you are assured that the stone’s qualities are accurate, reliable, and universally recognized.
Why Choose GIA Certified Diamonds from Krikawa?
Every diamond we recommend is carefully selected, and most importantly, each colorless diamond comes with a grading report from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the American Gem Society (AGS). These two institutes set the highest global standards for grading, giving you peace of mind that your stone is accurately evaluated.
Our trained team examines every GIA diamond in-house to confirm it meets our strict standards for brilliance and beauty. This ensures your diamond is not only correctly graded but also sparkles with exceptional fire and light. When you choose one of our GIA-certified diamond rings or GIA-certified engagement rings, you know it will truly match the certificate.
Along with quality, we provide transparent education, honest guidance, and highly competitive prices, making Krikawa a trusted partner in your diamond search.
GIA Diamonds vs. EGL Diamonds
For example, an EGL diamond listed as G-VS2 may be equivalent to a GIA diamond graded I-J, SI2-I1. Visually, the difference is striking.
An EGL “I” grade diamond often appears much yellower compared to a GIA certified diamond of the same grade. This is why we trust GIA’s strict standards.
For GIA certified stones, we guarantee any diamond graded H, SI1 or better will appear white and eye-clean. For EGL stones, that guarantee applies only to G, VS2, or better.
Finding the Best GIA-Certified Diamond For You
You can use a GIA report to directly compare the cut, color, clarity, and carat weight of two or more diamonds. Since all GIA-certified diamonds are graded using the same strict standards, the reports make it easy to see which stone offers the best balance of quality and value. This consistency allows you to confidently choose between multiple GIA diamonds without worrying about grading discrepancies.
