About GIA
Established in 1931, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the world's foremost authority on diamonds, colored stones and pearls. As a public benefit, nonprofit institute, GIA is the leading source of knowledge, standards and education in gems and jewelry.
GIA is the world's most trusted name in diamond grading and gem identification. With objectivity and expertise as its hallmarks, GIA ensures the integrity and accuracy of every report it issues.
GIA Colored Stone Reports
The GIA Colored Stone Identification Report describes whether a stone is natural or synthetic, identifies the type of gemstone, and includes any detectable treatments. It contains detailed descriptions including cutting style, shape, weight, measurement, and color.
A GIA report gives you peace of mind, ensuring you know exactly what you are buying. With all the treatments and synthetics available today, it takes highly qualified experts to detect them.
