Are Ch’ya by ZCOVA Lab-grown Diamonds certified?

Yes! When you purchase a Ch’ya by ZCOVA Lab Grown Diamond, you’ll receive an IGI Certificate along with your diamond.

What is an IGI Certificate for diamonds?

An IGI Certificate is produced by the International Gemological Institute, one of the World’s largest independent laboratories for grading the diamonds’ cut, colour, clarity and carat weight.

How does IGI grade diamonds?

The IGI report contains all the key information about your diamond including:

• Carat Weight
• Colour Grade
• Clarity Grade
• Cut Grade
• Shape
• Dimensions
• Polish
• Symmetry

Does the Diamond Certificate Matter?

Getting a certificate from an independent laboratory is important as they’re graded objectively using an international grading system. This certificate cannot be manipulated and you can verify your IGI report on the IGI website to check for authenticity. Thus you can trust the information to be unbiased and accurate, providing a value of protection to the buyer.

How Do I read my IGI Certificate?

It is very easy to read your IGI certificate. The first page of your report shows the Laboratory Grown Diamond Report which is a summary of the key gemological factors of your diamond. Ensure the number on your IGI Certificate is the same as the laser engraving on your diamond’s girdle. Just ask any of our ZCOVA Curators to help you spot the number using our microscope. This way you can rest assured that you’re getting the diamond you paid for. 

Proportions and Clarity Characteristics show the cut of your diamond and its clarity, any non visible and visible inclusions are marked in the clarity characteristics here. 

Finally on the last page of your IGI report, it shows you the grading scales that they’ve used as well as an enlarged picture of your diamond, and the laser inscription. 

When it comes to purchasing a Lab Grown Diamond, you can choose from over 100,000 Ch’ya by ZCOVA Diamonds. Our Curators guide you through every step of the way and are able to help pick the stone of your dreams. We also offer customised rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets.
