How To Buy Diamond Rings – Other Diamond Grading Reports
In my last post, I went over the first diamond certification, the GIA report. In this post, I will go over the rest of the diamond reports that are important to know when you’re going to buy a diamond ring.
- IGI Report
The reports from IGI (or International Gemological Information) are similar to the reports from the GIA. It has information about a diamond’s cut, shape, color, weight, proportions, finish, and clarity. The grading scales are almost the same as the GIA. You can look back at the GIA information for more detail about these qualities.
- AGS report
The AGS (American Gem Society) report is similar to the reports from the GIA and IGI, but it’s a little more simple. It has basic information about the 4 C’s (cut, clarity, color, and carat) of a diamond. It doesn’t have as much detail as the other reports.
- EGL
An EGL (European Gemological Laboratory) report has a little more detail about the diamond proportion than the other reports. Besides that, it is very similar to the GIA and IGI reports.
So, next time you buy diamond rings, keep these reports in mind and make sure you check them.
