Understanding a GIA Diamond Dossierฎ

Home >Diamond Education >Diamond Certification >GIA Diamond Dossier

A Diamond Dossier, issued by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), presents a report of the characteristics of your diamond that is signed by the most respected experts in the industry. The Diamond Dossier is a special report issued for diamonds weighing less than 1 carat.

GIA Diamond Dossier
The GIA set the standard for diamond grading and gemological identification, and their grading system serves as the international gem and jewelry industry's benchmark credentials. This dossier describes the following:

    Laser Inscription Registry – Each diamond with a GIA Diamond Dossier is laser inscribed with the report number.

    Shape and Cutting Style – Description of diamond shape and cutting style.

    Measurement – Diamond dimensions.

    Weight – Weight of diamond listed to the nearest hundredth of a carat.
