Diamond & Gemstone Verification
At The Classic Gem, we offer a Diamond and Gemstone examination by a GIA certified diamond specialist. This process includes a diamond laser verification, weight verification, plotting verification, measurements on the certificate or paperwork, as well as deep delve into the diamond quality for factors and characteristics not listed on the diamond certificate such as transparency (Milky Levels 0-4), color tinge (level of brown tint), and overall consult into fair pricing brackets for internet prices, fair retail value, sell back value and more. The process has been updated to include the state of the art CVD and HPHT screeners as well.
The process takes roughly 25 minutes and starts at 50.00.
