When it comes to purchasing diamonds, LUMOS by ZCOVA exceeds GIA certification.
For those seeking natural diamonds, LUMOS diamonds provide unmatched visual beauty and authenticity. With dual certifications from GIA and Sarine, LUMOS diamonds meet the highest standards, ensuring 'triple excellent' grades and unparalleled light performance.
This unique combination places LUMOS diamonds in a league of their own, offering exceptional quality and superior brilliance at no additional cost.
This guide will explain the advantages of GIA diamonds and how LUMOS diamonds surpass them, and other diamond brands.
A GIA diamond is one that has been graded by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), one of the most esteemed gemstone grading organisations in the world. A GIA diamond certification offers an accurate and unbiased assessment of a diamond's quality and overall value, ensuring you make an informed purchase. This certification is considered one of the most trusted gem grading reports available today.
Getting a GIA-certified diamond is a more worthwhile investment for the following reasons:
Genuine Assurance: Ensures that you are buying a genuine diamond.
Fair Pricing: Helps determine the GIA diamond price, preventing you from getting overcharged.
Authenticity Verification: Ensures authenticity, especially for natural diamonds. Details on the 4Cs (colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight) are provided based on the GIA diamond grading chart, which is a reliable and unbiased measure of a diamond's quality.
Not every diamond on sale has a GIA certification. However, a majority do, and if you ask your jeweller, you’ll likely get access to its grading information.
Comprehensive 4Cs Assessment: Detailed evaluation of the diamond's colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight.
Digital Verification: The GIA report check website offers a digital version for quick and easy legitimacy verification.
Unique Identification: Each report includes a unique number, often inscribed on the diamond’s girdle, used to search the GIA database.
Security Features: Reports include a hologram, security screen, and microprint lines to prevent forgery or duplication.
Database Consistency: The GIA’s report check service ensures the report’s information matches its database records.
A GIA-certified diamond will have a number inscribed on the girdle, the very thin edge between the diamond’s upper crown facets and lower pavilion facets.
This number cannot be seen with the naked eye, so you’ll need to get it checked by a jeweller with a microscope. Once you get the number, you can then check for it by searching for the GIA number on their online Report Check service.
Yes. GIA’s gem labs have access to advanced testing equipment that jewellers and appraisers do not. This allows them to provide a more accurate report on a diamond’s quality. Here are three reasons why a GIA diamond certificate matters:
Natural Authentification: Proves that the diamond you’re buying is natural and not synthetic.
Unbiased Quality Assessment: Provides a strict, unbiased evaluation of the diamond’s quality.
Value Comparison: This report helps buyers and sellers compare the value of their diamonds and allows new buyers to compete on a level playing field.
LUMOS by ZCOVA Diamonds elevates industry-standard grading with dual certification from two of the world’s foremost authorities on diamonds—GIA and Sarine. This distinct combination of exceptional quality and superior brilliance, a grade referred to as a ‘super ideal cut diamond’ in the market, comes at no extra charge.
Compared to other GIA-certified diamonds, LUMOS diamonds have several advantages that grant them a whole new level of quality:
Light performance: LUMOS goes beyond the 4Cs by adding light performance as a new dimension to diamond grading. Sarine’s light performance grade serves as a reliable and objective measure of a diamond's visual beauty.
Dual certificates: All LUMOS diamonds are graded by GIA and then analysed by Sarine to evaluate the diamond’s Brilliance, Fire & Sparkle scientifically. This rigorous process ensures that LUMOS Diamonds are among the finest in certified diamond quality.
Ultimate grading: While most diamonds in the market can achieve Classic or Premium Total Grade, only LUMOS diamonds have the vaunted 'Ultimate' Grade, making them a cut above other GIA diamonds.
