Can you believe how these treated natural diamonds are being marketed?

« on: June 02, 2009, 12:08:40 AM »

Q. Are these diamonds certified?
A. Yes, all reputable labs will certify HPHT processed stones.

Q. How will the certificate look for a stone that has been HPHT processed?
A. The properties of the diamond will be listed as normal with HPHT processing clearly stated next to the color. Also the notes will clearly state that the color of the diamond has been changed due to HPHT processing.

Q. Who should I send my diamond to for certification?
A. The world’s leading laboratories in the identification and certification of HPHT diamonds are GIA, EGL USA, and EGL Canada.

Can you please show us a GIA cert for HPHT diamond so we know what to be aware of?

Thanks, Mikla. I'm glad they make it that obvious. I was a little shocked GIA would certify them.

Thanks for the great question ah2bqat!

And thanks Mikla for posting what the GIA report would look like.

Without question we are very careful as to where we buy our diamonds.

Speaking of horrible representation, the internet is filled with people selling treated stones who so conveniently forget to mention it.......
