I picked up a lovely .56ct OEC that I want to send to GIA (the Carlsbad office). Anyone have experience sending their own diamond in? I found the forms and instructions on their website, but nothing mentions return postage, is that extra or is it included in the fees? Was it an easy process?

Thanks!

I'm sorry I don't have the answer, but I have called GIA labs in Carlsbad directly and they are very friendly and helpful.

I actually have two diamonds in GIA New York at this very instant. Customer service was fantastic. They asked me for the details of the stones, their value, what I needed to have done, and how I wanted the diamonds returned. They calculated the total cost for me and I mailed a money order, along with a letter providing the information that I had given them over the phone. They even emailed me to let me know that they had received the diamonds. Please don't forget to send them via registered mail with insurance. Good luck.
