Importance of Grading

Firstly, why is grading so important? 

Grading jewellery is the process of evaluating and assessing the quality and characteristics of a piece of jewellery. This can include evaluating the metal, diamonds, and other gemstones used in the piece, as well as the overall craftsmanship and design.

Therefore, getting your diamond or jewellery graded at IDRC Lab provides both confidences for the buyer and seller and most importantly the owner. The value of a precious stone is determined by its gemological structure, rarity, and finished quality. Despite diamonds and gemstones can appear similar, the slightest inclusions, blemishes, or age can have a substantial impact on their value. Our experts use state-of-the-art analytical tools to detect synthetics, treatments, and enhancement processes.
