When couples or men go

engagement ring

shopping, they may notice that certain diamonds are

certified by GIA. What this means is that these diamonds, before they were mounted onto an

engagement ring, were sent off to a GIA lab somewhere in the United States to be graded. For a

diamond to be graded, it must meet certain criteria. Not just any diamond can be sent off to the

lab. GIA gives it a grade in terms of color, cut, and clarity, and provides a certification with the

diamond. A certification by GIA means that there is no dispute about what the color or clarity of

a diamond can be. If a diamond ever needs to be resold, the certification will add value.
