Certification of Diamond Quality

A diamond certificate or grading report provides an expert opinion on the quality of the diamond and is provided by an independent gemology lab. Trained gemologists with specialized equipment measure the weight and dimensions of the diamond and assess quality characteristics such as cut, color, and clarity.

All Brilliant Earth diamonds are certified by the world’s leading gem grading labs including GIA, AGS, IGI, EGL, and Gemscan. Gemscan is one of Canada’s leading gemology labs, using the same well-established criteria and methodologies of the other world leading gem labs. Gemscan has a long history of certifying diamonds for both large-volume national chain stores as well as smaller independent jewelers.

Certification of Diamond Origin

All Brilliant Earth diamonds come with a certificate guaranteeing the conflict free origin of the diamond. Our diamonds are tracked throughout their chain of custody to ensure that they are mined, cut, and polished in areas not tainted by war. This ensures that the diamonds are certified for their pure origin and are not corrupted by illicit or conflict diamonds. All of our diamonds are also verified to be produced with environmentally responsible methods using ethical labor practices.

While other retailers may claim that they do not carry conflict diamonds, very few have auditing processes to guarantee the ethical source of their diamonds. Brilliant Earth provides a diamond origin certification and can track our diamonds back to their source.
