"But the important thing is to ask a jeweler or store if its associates have been professionally trained," says Brook Ellis, GIA's Education Vice President.
"Find a jeweler with Graduate Gemologist or Accredited Jewelry Professional credentials -- two of the jewelry industry's most well-known and respected titles.
Choose your jeweler carefully -- he or she will be of immense help to you throughout your jewelry buying career."
Tip 4: Don't buy a diamond without a GIA report.
It's the most trusted authentification in the worldwide jewelry industry, and you should always ask for one when you purchase a diamond.
You can request a GIA report from your jeweler or send the diamond to the GIA Laboratory on your own.
Tip 5: Laser inscribe the diamond with a romantic message and get extra security.
The GIA Laboratory will laser-inscribe any message on the gem's girdle (outside edge) for a romantic touch.
The diamond's unique report number can even be inscribed and permanently recorded, which can later provide verification if the diamond is ever lost or stolen.
With laboratories in New York and California, research facilities in Geneva, Antwerp, and Bangkok, and 14 campuses worldwide, GIA is regarded as the world's foremost authority in gemology.
An independent nonprofit organization, GIA is recognized as the world's foremost authority in gemology.
Through research, education, gemological laboratory services, and instrument development, the Institute is dedicated to ensuring the public trust in gems and jewelry by upholding the highest standards of integrity, academics, science, and professionalism.
