Certified Diamond Jewelry – Independently Verified Quality
At MyAntwerpDiamonds, we believe that transparency, quality, and trust are essential when purchasing fine diamond finished jewelry.
At MyAntwerpDiamonds, we offer GIA-certified diamonds as well as IGI certification for finished diamond jewelry.
While individual diamonds are accompanied by GIA grading reports, smaller diamonds weighing less than 0.18 carats are rarely graded individually due to the cost involved. As a result, jewelry featuring numerous smaller diamonds, such as tennis bracelets, tennis necklaces, diamond drop earrings, and eternity rings, is often sold without independent certification.
Our goal is simple: to give you greater confidence in the quality and characteristics of your diamond jewelry through independent verification by one of the world’s leading gemological institutions.
What Is IGI Certification for Finished Diamond Jewelry?
Unlike individual diamond grading reports, which assess a single loose diamond, IGI finished-jewelry certification evaluates the completed piece of jewelry as a whole.
The International Gemological Institute (IGI) independently examines the finished jewelry and issues a report documenting its characteristics, which may include:
Diamond carat weight: The estimated total weight of the diamonds set in the jewelry.
Diamond color: An assessment of the diamonds’ color, often expressed as a range.
Diamond clarity: An assessment of the diamonds’ clarity, often expressed as a range.
Precious metal details: Information about the gold, platinum, or other precious metals used.
Jewelry identification: A description of the finished piece, potentially including photographs and other identifying characteristics.
The exact information provided depends on the type of jewelry and the applicable IGI report.
Rather than certifying every small diamond individually, this process provides independent documentation of the finished jewelry piece, offering greater transparency without the considerable expense of obtaining separate grading reports for each stone.
Why Are Smaller Diamonds Rarely Certified Individually?
Diamonds weighing less than 0.18 carats each are rarely accompanied by individual grading reports. This is primarily because the cost of grading each diamond separately can be significant in relation to the value of the stone.
For jewelry featuring numerous smaller diamonds, such as a tennis bracelet containing 50 or more stones, obtaining an individual certificate for every diamond would substantially increase the overall cost.
As a result, jewelry featuring multiple smaller diamonds is often sold without independent gemological certification, leaving customers to rely solely on the retailer’s description and assurances.
Why Choose IGI Certified Jewelry from MyAntwerpDiamonds?
Unlike many jewelry retailers, MyAntwerpDiamonds offers IGI certification for finished diamond jewelry, providing independent assessment from the International Gemological Institute (IGI), one of the world’s leading diamond grading institutions.
This gives you additional confidence that the characteristics of your jewelry have been independently evaluated rather than relying exclusively on the seller’s description.
Whether you are purchasing a diamond tennis bracelet, an elegant tennis necklace, diamond earrings, or an eternity ring, independent certification offers valuable reassurance when investing in fine jewelry.
Two Certificates for Greater Peace of Mind
In addition to the independent IGI certificate, you will also receive our in-house jewelry certificate, prepared and graded by certified gemologists.
Our in-house certificate provides further documentation of your jewelry’s characteristics, while the IGI report offers an additional level of independent verification.
Together, these certificates provide greater transparency and confidence in your purchase
Is IGI Certification Included in the Price?
IGI certification is generally included in our listed jewelry prices.
However, for certain smaller or lower-priced jewelry pieces, an additional certification fee may apply.
If you are unsure whether a particular piece includes IGI certification, we recommend contacting our team before placing your order.
We will be happy to confirm the certification options and any applicable costs.
Does IGI Certification Affect Delivery Time?
Because IGI certification involves an independent examination of the finished jewelry, additional processing time may be required.
Jewelry ordered with IGI certification may require approximately one additional week for delivery.
This allows sufficient time for the certification process to be completed before your jewelry is shipped.
