A Growing Demand For Diamond Certificates - A Trend Reinforced By The Financial Recession

Due to the economic recession, consumers have become more cautious regarding purchases

and possible consumer trap, and even with the recession mostly behind us they continue to exercise caution when buying anything. Diamond certificates are in high demand in recent years and with new financial obstacles it seems that more consumers insist on becoming educated and not settle for a diamond that doesn't have reliable diamond grading report. The services diamond grading labs offer are also becoming more focused on the private consumer since a diamond grading report has become a necessary part of diamond sales in most situations. Add a diamond inscription ID has become a popular method to assure that a diamond matches the grading report attached to it. Once consumers know their diamond ID they can access its relevant grading reports through the websites of the major labs.

The advantages of a diamond grading report are numerous. Through reading such certificate a consumer can be certain that he or she is obtaining a high quality diamond and see for themselves that the description provided by a store's jeweler is 100% accurate. A growing number of consumers are becoming aware of a diamond's 'four C's' as well as more expert terms like diamond symmetry, table percentage and fluorescence. With so much info available in internet tutorials there's no wonder consumers are doing the wise thing, accumulating knowledge instead of trying to decide whether they can rely on a persuasive jeweler. The fact that diamond grading laboratories are expanding the range of diamonds they examine and now deal also with quite small diamonds (even 1/5 carat diamonds can be easily graded now by the GIA and AGSL) also adds to the notion that all valuable diamonds should come with a diamond certificate.

Experts in the diamond industry are happy that people didn't forget all about diamonds, once their pockets became rather empty. Diamonds aren't a necessity, but they are still very appreciated and irreplaceable as a holiday gift and obviously in a diamond engagement ring as well. With the rising demand for diamonds in the progressing economies of China and India, industry experts know the situation could have gotten much worse and the fact that diamond certificates play a greater role in diamond trading is considered as good news. The diamond industry has become more universally organized, and it is now possible to have some idea of the relative value of one diamond against another. Diamond grading report are another tool in providing diamond education to every person involved in the diamond production and supply chain, even the most private customer.

It seems that both novice and experienced diamond consumers appreciate diamond grading reports and see them as an essential document while realizing a purchase. A novice consumer feels more security when buying a diamond that has a certificate, and the experienced consumer wishes to know all the aspects of the diamond in detail. New diamond cuts and designs which have been produced in recent years are another reason to stress the importance of a diamond certificate, since a diamond consumer shouldn't commit to a cut he or she isn't familiar with before reading the in depth diamond description.

Some specialty jewelers are rather annoyed by the fact that many customers now have their own opinion and argue about small details regarding diamond attributes. It is important, however, not to ever use the diamond certificate as a replacement for a trustworthy jeweler. Any experienced jeweler is aware, however, of the universal importance of the diamond certificate, and it's great to have customers buying diamonds again, even if they do so cautiously.
