Lab-Grown Diamond Certification
All Ritani lab-grown diamonds come with a grading certificate so you can be certain of their quality. Ritani’s lab-grown diamonds are graded by the world’s leading diamond laboratories such as the GIA, IGI, GCAL, Diamond Foundry, GSI, and HRD.
GIA Lab-Grown Diamond Grading Reports
The GIA (Gemological Institute of America) is considered the gold standard for diamond grading. The agency grades both natural and lab diamonds. The GIA only offers digital versions of its lab-grown diamond grading reports.
Here is a sample lab-grown diamond grading report:
