All diamonds from Matilda Diamonds are certified by an independent laboratory and will come with Grading Report Certificate. If they are natural mined diamonds they will have a report from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Lab Grown Diamonds will be certified from either GIA or International Gemological Institute (IGI).
Our natural mined diamonds on engagement rings are all graded by the GIA. GIA only grade diamonds that come from companies that are verified by the Kimberly Process. The Kimberly Process ensures that the diamonds bearing its certification are all retrieved from conflict free areas. Click here to learn more about the Kimberly Process.
The diamond that you receive will come accompanied by a Grading Report from an independent laboratory whether it be GIA or IGI. Both Diamond Grading Labs laser engrave the diamond with a unique serial number. This number is also present on the corresponding grading report.

Lab created Diamonds and mined diamonds are the same thing chemically, molecularly, and physically. The only difference being that earth mined diamonds have been formed beneath the surface of the earth and have to be mined in order to reach them. Whereas lab grown diamonds are created in a laboratory starting from a small diamond seed. Therefore yes, lab created diamonds are real diamonds.

This is a process by which a diamond has undergone an unnatural process to enhance it’s colour or clarity. This is done either by heat treatment to make the diamond whiter or by drilling into a dark inclusion then vaporising it with a laser or chemical agent to get rid of it, then filling the hole with clear resin. Customers should always be aware if these kinds of treatments have been undertaken. Matilda Diamonds does not trade with these stones as their quality and value has been compromised and they are below our standards.
When diamonds reflect a blue/yellow/green light under an ultraviolet light they are said to be luminescent of fluorescence. This is a rare phenomenon and should be highly valued. However, many members of the diamond trade see it as a negative trait but in fact fluorescence can make diamonds look better in overall colour and appearance. Diamonds with fluorescence offer good value to the customer.
