INTRODUCTION

• A gemstone certificate is a document that
  evaluates gemstones based on different quality
  parameters. It is issued by licensed gemological
  laboratories. While certain certificates verify
  authenticity weight, others (for example in the
  case of diamonds) can specify color and clarity
  grades.
• A gemstone expert before certification examines
  or measures minor details of a gemstone and then
  issues a detailed report based on the inspection.

Why are gemstone Certificate Important ?

• Why is gemstone certification important though?
  It is important because of the huge number of
  fake gemstones or synthetic gemstones that are
  being sold to unsuspecting customers. Thus
  certification is used to restrict such false
  practices in the future which defraud the public.
  Legit gemstone dealers who sell certified
  gemstones online offline have found a way
  through an institute to research or examine
  various aspects of a gemstone, like color, shape,
  clarity, treatment, etc. to ensure authenticity.
• A certification has another benefit. It can help
  you keep track of your astrological gemstones if
  they are ever lost or stolen.

  several factors like

• Whether the gemstone is treated heated or
  non-treated non-heated.

• Gemstone weight in carats.

Best gemstone Certification in India

• Gemstone certification has quickly become a
  lucrative business with a great many companies
  getting into it. The increase in interest comes
  as people become more aware of the abundance of
  fakes in the market. But the wealth of
  certifications may make people confused about
  which certificate is good and which isn't. If you
  aren't quite familiar, feel free to ask jewelers
  or gemologists or astrologers, or even respected
  suppliers people in the industry.
• Not every certificate is made equal. Every
  certificate isn't worth the same, neither is it
  appropriate for each gemstone. Before you buy
  gemstones online or offline, make sure the
  certifying agency which has given the gem a
  certificate is neutral and not involved in or
  benefitting from the purchase.

• Since the American Gemological Society is very
  well regarded in the jewelry industry in the
  certifying process, their AGS certificate is as
  well regarded and a sign of authenticity. In
  fact, with AGS, you can even verify the
  certificates.
• GIA or the Gemological Institute of America's
  certificates are also highly regarded because GIA
  is the largest the most trusted gemological
  lab. GIA's diamond grading standards are accepted
  Internationally because it is consistent as well
  as reliable.
• Then there are other labs like EGL that certify
  diamonds. However, they have often been
  considered not as good as GIA or AGS
  certification because their color and clarity
  grades are off. That is why it is important to
  compare certifications before you believe in
  their grades.
• Before you trust any certification, you must
  understand that anyone can order a GIA
  certification. The GIA can do multiple things,
  from checking a gemstone for authenticity to
  creating a full diamond grading report. They can
  even apply microscopic laser inscriptions on the
  girdle of a diamond for a fee, albeit small.
• Just like that, even the AGS certification can do
  a lot of things.

How to check a Gemstone certificate?

• For GIA, you can simply go to GIA Report Check
  and input the Report number from your certificate
  to check for authenticity.

• Every certificate comes with a way to check for
  authentication you can always check for the
