A Diamond Sealing Service is now available for D-to-Z diamonds that carry a GIA Diamond Grading Report or a GIA Diamond Dossier®, and colored diamonds holding a GIA Colored Diamond Grading Report.
The new service seals the diamond with its key grading information in a credit card sized, tamper-resistant package that keeps the stone, its report number and primary gemological details (report date, shape and the Four Cs) in a secure, easy-to-display packet.
“GIA has been vigorously offering a wider array of services to accommodate the needs of its many different customers throughout the industry and the general public,” said GIA President and CEO Donna Baker in announcing the Sealing Service at the IIJS Show in Mumbai earlier this month. “In particular, we are interested in offering services that promote worldwide industry standards and reinforce consumer confidence.”
The sealed package contains multiple security features, including the GIA hologram, which is proof that the diamond has been graded by GIA and that the information in it matches the stone. These features will help prevent attempts to misrepresent the item and its report.
The Sealing Service can be ordered at the time of grading for a fee of US$9 per stone. Diamonds can also be resubmitted for the Sealing Service for the same charge, with an additional grading fee applied. The service can be requested at all GIA Laboratory or take-in locations worldwide, as well as online through GIA’s client portal, “My Laboratory.”
