About ICE Grading Certificates

ICE diamonds are double certified (our "ICE Ideal H&A" Round Brilliant diamonds are triple certified!!!):

First Certification

After cutting, a potential Diamond Exchange "ICE" diamond is subjected to strict in house grading by highly competent gemologists using the latest Sarin and other technologies to determine if the diamond qualifies to carry the "ICE" name.

Our gemologists will produce a detailed grading and visual performance analysis on each diamond and issue a Diamond Exchange "ICE Certificate of Authenticity" if the diamond qualifies. The ICE Certificate details all the relevant angles, dimensions and proportions required to make an accurate assessment of the diamond's quality.

The ICE Certificate of Authenticity confirms the diamond is a genuine ICE diamond that conforms to the minimum ICE specifications.


Second Certification

All ICE Diamonds are graded by Internationally recognized Independent Laboratories:

  • ICE diamonds shipped to AUSTRALIA  will usually be Independently Certified by IGI
    (International Gemmological Institute
    ).
  • ICE diamonds shipped to USA or Canada will usually be Independently Certified by IGI (International Gemological Institute).
  • ICE diamonds shipped to EUROPE or UK will usually be Independently certified by HRD.
  • ICE Ideal H&A Round Brilliant diamonds will usually be Independently Certified by GIA or AGS, as well as an IGI Hearts & Arrows Diamond Summation, that verifies your purchase is indeed an ICE H&A diamond in accordance with International Diamond Grading Standards.

The independent certificate also will include details of Laser inscriptions and certify if the diamond displays Hearts & Arrows.

For your added security and piece of mind, Diamond Exchange "ICE" diamonds shipped to the USA or Canada also have their ICE / IGI Certification number laser inscribed on the girdle. The ICE / IGI Laser inscription easily identifies the stone and matches it to the certificate.
