GIA Launches Jewelry Report Service.
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) has introduced an exciting new pilot program for its Jewelry Report service. This groundbreaking service dives deep into the details of a jewelry piece, covering everything from the metal and gemstone characteristics to existing engravings.
Elevating Consumer Trust
Tom Moses, GIA's executive vice president and chief laboratory officer, noted, "This service extends GIA’s unwavering commitment to fostering consumer confidence and trust in the jewelry industry." The Jewelry Report targets those who need precise grading information for mounted jewelry, a significant shift from GIA’s tradition of requiring unmounted gemstones.
Detailed Insights
The Jewelry Report doesn’t skimp on details. It verifies the metal and provides ranges for clarity, color, and estimated carat weight for D-to-Z diamonds without previous GIA reports. For diamonds already documented by GIA, the new report includes specific grades and a link to GIA’s Report Check for additional verification. It also catalogs any existing markings on the jewelry, ensuring nothing is overlooked.

Extra Perks
The Jewelry Report service offers add-ons like new engravings and a 360-degree video of the jewelry for an extra fee. Each report features a unique alphanumeric identification number, guaranteeing the piece's security and authenticity.
A Nod to Tradition
GIA's decision to reintroduce mounted diamond grading is a nostalgic nod to their practices from the late 1970s. This move blends history with modern needs, documenting gemstones' heritage and characteristics meticulously.
Current Limitations and Future Vision
Although the Jewelry Report service doesn’t currently cover colored gemstone jewelry, it is a robust step toward fulfilling GIA's mission to protect consumers and uphold the gem and jewelry industry's integrity. Those eager to join the pilot program can sign up for the waitlist and be part of this innovative journey.
