8ternity Rough Rock Total Posts: 2 Last Post: 7/13/2007 Member Since: 7/12/2007	Should I invest GIA cert for .16 ct diamonds on wedding bands? FYI: I work in technology department managing databases in a law firm: Documentation, i.e. bates stamping, is vital -- The Wow factor of the Eighternity diamond got me interested; honestly, what sold me was the documentations that Eighternity provided: http://www.eighternity.com/guaranteed.php?&var=guaranteed I love the Eighternity so much that I plan to invest in smaller Eighternity diamonds on the wedding bands!. Additional research: On two websites, the lowest GIA certs are .18 ct Note: Consensus with diamond vendors, GIA certs for smaller diamonds are not a wise investment. Please forgive me for asking a silly and cheesy question: Please advise if I should invest GIA and GemEx certs on smaller diamonds?

Or are you looking for advice on what to buy for regular stones? I wouldn't bother getting GIA certed stones myself, but I WOULD make sure they are ideally cut...

I agree with the consensus. The cost to certify the stones through the GIA lab exceed the cost of the diamonds in those sizes.

8ternity Rough Rock Total Posts: 2 Last Post: 7/13/2007 Member Since: 7/12/2007	Just to clarify, I just recently purchase an Eighternity after looking at several type of round stones in LA jewelry district. Now, Im looking into wedding bands and I am entertaining the fantasy of getting smaller family of stones for the weddings bands. I now realized that smaller stones are not GIA certified and I thought it would be cool to have it certified and keep it in the family of E, VS1. Again, I apologized for being cheesy and asking a silly questiong. Thanks for your replies (Neatfreak, Chrono, belle).

belle Ideal Rock Total Posts: 10,287 Last Post: 4/3/2008 Member Since: 11/19/2004	it was not silly or cheesy. i think those little sentimental touches are very cool but we were not answering from a sentimental standpoint, we were answering from a practical standpoint. if having a certain color/clarity combination is very important to you, then the cost/practicality aspect should not influence you as much.

Unless you have the money to burn its not worth the money to invest into paper work that will cost more then the diamond. The certifactions are more for pieces that your are investing a lot of money in and want to make sure your getting the right product. Now you know both sides.
