COMPLIMENTARY GIA REPORT CONFIRMATION SERVICE

The GIA Report Confirmation Service, launched January 10 in New York, is now available at all GIA laboratory locations.

The new service confirms that the GIA-graded diamond matches its corresponding GIA report. There will be no cost for the service for a limited time. The service is available for GIA-graded diamonds with and without inscriptions.

While the service time for this expedited service depends on volume and local conditions, GIA anticipates a very quick turn-around – 15 minutes for one loose diamond, one hour for two to five diamonds and 24 hours for more than five diamonds. GIA will accept mounted diamonds for confirmation, subject to longer service times.

Existing clients with a current GIA client agreement may submit diamonds for confirmation by requesting ‘Report Confirmation Service’ as they would any other GIA service. GIA will accept both walk-in and courier submissions, although walk-in clients will be accommodated more quickly. It is preferred, but not required, that the original GIA report or a facsimile accompany the submitted diamond.

Clients may contact their Client Service Representative or email labservices@gia.edu with any questions. Anyone who is not yet a GIA client interested in the service may start the client application process at https://www.gia.edu/opening-a-lab-account.
