I received a tanzanite and diamond ring as a gift and it came with a GIE certificate. Renewing my recent home insurance I got a new valuation from a different company and it was pretty much bang on the same as the GIE certificate. Can鈥檛 fault them.

I have a beautiful and I mean beautiful GIE diamond engagement ring. I got an excellent deal and the diamond matches it's certificate and it is a 45,000 dollar diamond ring. 5 carat princess cut diamond engagement ring. It is truly glorious. I paid a quarter of what it is worth. I still admire it every day and the certificate is authentic and real. Got an appraisal with it as well! It's a good accurate grading system and certification lab. I'm proof.

Absolutely made up diamond certification. I purchased a DVS1 0.70ct diamond from a company called diamond heaven last year. All other shops quote me 拢3500 for a ring with a GIA (American lab). I thought I got a brilliant deal for a GIE (the certificate looks uncannily similar to the GIA) for 拢2500 and went for it. I recently went to my local jeweller to get the ring polished. My jeweller said that the hallmark was not there so he sent it to the Assay office for hallmarking. At the same time, I thought I would get the ring revalued for insurance by the Assay Office. To my astonishment, the central diamond was graded as an H SI1 by the Assay Office. When I showed them the GIE certificate, I was told that this was just an opinion but in their experience, the GIE was a "liberal" diamond grading lab. Went back to diamond heaven for a refund but was not successful as the ring was now "second hand".
