Diamond without a certificate

simpson Rough Rock Total Posts: 4 Last Post: 4/7/2009 Member Since: 2/20/2009	I am looking at buying a loose diamond without a certificate. If there is a number inscribed on the girlde can I obtain a certificate (to compare to make sure the stone is real) and how do I obtain it? Is this way too risky of a move? Thanks a million!

If there is a report number on the stone, you can usually verify the data on the website of the lab, GIA and AGS has that, I think a few other labs have that too. If buying second hand, best is to ship it to an independent appraiser to appraise it and only confirm the deal once all the stats are match up.

I should also add that I wouldn't buy it from someone non-reputable as it could be a nightmare returning it. There are many many ebay horror stories, so please tread carefully.

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn
