Understanding a 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.
