What is GIA?
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1931, known for setting standards in grading diamonds and gemstones. Their mission is to ensure the public trust in gems and jewelry through research, education, and laboratory services. Visit their website at GIA.edu.
What are Jewelry Reports?
Jewelry reports provide detailed information about a piece of jewelry, including:
- Metal Type: Verification of the metal used.
- Gemstone Details: Characteristics and quality of the gemstones.
- Engravings: Any existing engravings on the piece.
- 360-Degree Videos: A detailed visual inspection.
- Unique Identification Numbers: For easy tracking and verification.
These reports also cover the clarity, color, and carat weight of D-to-Z diamonds, and include links to GIA’s Report Check for diamonds with existing GIA reports for additional verification.

What's new?
While traditional GIA reports on gemstones have been around for a long time and are well-respected, these new jewelry reports, which include comprehensive details about the entire piece, are a recent development. They mark an advancement in transparency and detail (the Centurion) (JCK) (Jewellers' Network).
Where to Get a GIA Jewelry Report
You can obtain a GIA jewelry report by submitting your jewelry to GIA for evaluation. Some jewelers might also provide GIA reports with their jewelry, so it's worth asking when you make a purchase. Anyone interested in their pilot program can sign up [here] for the waitlist.
