Jewelry Report




Sample Reports

"As mounting permits" is an important distinction used on IGI Jewelry Identification Reports. This means that the presence of metal parts surrounding the gemstone(s) allowed IGI graders to provide detailed information but perhaps not as accurately as in an un-mounted situation. In these cases the words "approximate" and "range" are clearly used in descriptors. Ultimately some pieces may require un-mounting if the style or makeup prevents our gemologists from performing the scientific tests necessary for meaningful assessment.

Complete understanding of consumer concerns has motivated IGI to develop internal rules and procedures for providing information about any item which can possibly be analyzed according to the laws of our fields of specialty. This empowers jewelry buyers to focus on finding precisely what they want, with full assurance in the integrity and quality of the IGI certification.
