GIA and HRD Antwerp evaluate diamonds independently and record measurements and quality characteristics on a numbered report.<\/p>\n<h2>What the report contains<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on the report type, you may see carat weight, shape and measurements, colour, clarity, cut-related grades, polish, symmetry and fluorescence. These entries describe the examined loose diamond; they are not a warranty of future market value.<\/p>\n<h2>Report number and laser inscription<\/h2>\n<p>Many certified stones carry a microscopic laser inscription on the girdle. Its number should match the printed or digital report. The inscription is read with magnification and does not affect ordinary appearance.<\/p>\n<h2>Product certificate and laboratory report<\/h2>\n<p>Some jewellery is supplied with a brand or product certificate rather than a separate international laboratory report.
