How to Read a GIA Diamond Grading Report

June 18, 2013

Not every diamond comes with a GIA diamond grading report, but if yours does, it’s important to not only understand the purpose of the report, but also how to read it and what it all means.

Diamond Tint, Alex Waldman and the GIA

December 6, 2012

Radiant Diamond
