“GIE has a slightly lower grading standard to GIA but the quality and authenticity of Diamonds are amazing for the price. People need to stop comparing, they are natural earth minded diamonds that are 70% less than a GIA equivalent and look equitable in value. Go for a GIE and save considerably rather than paying a fortune because of a GIA hype - your certificate is not worn on your finger. I’m sure you’re friends wouldn’t know the difference with a few gradings lower for a much more appropriate price tag.”
“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’t 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.”
