Diamond Certification & The VRAI Difference

One of the many advantages of purchasing our sustainably grown diamonds is our dedication to customer confidence. Working directly with our own foundry, we’re able to ensure the impeccable craftsmanship and provenance of each one of our stones, and guarantee its grades for years to come.

While inconsistencies can be common between typical grading laboratories, our diamonds are graded by GIA Certified Gemologists with a unique data and technical advantage specific to lab grown diamonds. Unlike other diamond reports, our foundry guarantees the grade of your diamond with a full producer warranty. The result is the best in diamond tradition and modernization—true assurance of your diamond’s exceptional quality.

Our VRAI created diamonds

From the moment the diamonds are grown to the moment they reach our customers, they never leave our hands. Sustainably grown in America’s beautiful Pacific West without the environmental toll of mining, our diamonds are then cut and polished internationally to the most exacting standards by master craftsmen in our workshops. A Diamond Certificate accompanies our engagement rings featuring diamonds 1/2ct and above and jewelry designs featuring diamonds 1ct and up, outlining and guaranteeing the details of that specific stone.

Diamond certification

All diamonds go through a grading process that considers the 4Cs—cut, color, carat and clarity—no matter their origin. The 4Cs contribute to a diamond’s overall value and serve as the standard across all jewelers and grading agencies. Whether mined or sustainably created, higher grade diamonds carry a higher value because purity is difficult to obtain.

While other diamond reports, including those from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), do not contain such guarantees and or carry disclaimers, our Diamond Certificate offers a GIA Gemologist Grading Report, and guarantees the grade of your diamond, backed by a Full Lifetime Warranty.

In the unlikely case that your diamond turns out not to meet or exceed a grade stated on its certificate, our foundry will accept the return of the diamond and provide you with a refund of the full purchase price or replace the diamond with a new diamond that meets or exceeds the graded characteristics.
