GIA Certificate

[carbon lover]

When purchasing a diamond, how can I be sure that the GIA Certificate belongs to the stone I am purchasing?

1. go read the tutorial

2. use an independant appriaser
3. by from a trusted store or source

That is a good question,although I doubt that it would be different if you are buying from a legitamate vendor,but there is a possibility that it was switched intentionally/mistake,What I sugeest is that you have it varified by a third party gemologist laboratory that is reputable ,and have him varify that it matches the cert.
some sites offer this service for free!
