DON’T- Buy based off the certificate alone
Buying a diamond from the certificate alone can be very dangerous. As important as it is to buy a diamond with a GIA certificate, the certificate is just a supplement to the diamond to assure that you are getting exactly what you paid for. As I’ve talked about before, every diamond is unique and within GIA grading there is a spectrum. One person can have a diamond with an SI2 quality that is completely “eye-clean,” meaning that there are no visible inclusions to the naked eye. Another person might have the same quality stone but have a large “eye-visible” inclusion, meaning the natural imperfections can be seen with the naked eye. Protect your investment, see the diamond in person, and don’t buy off a certificate alone.
