A diamond in glass is an object that raises questions. The first is often: is it real? The answer comes with every piece, on a certificate that documents more than just the stone.
What the certificate states
- Collection and model, with name and number.
- The serial number of the individual piece.
- The diamond in the glass sphere with its carat weight; with pavé, also the total weight of the stones.
- The gold with carat and colour, or platinum.
- The laboratory certificate belonging to the stone.
- The note that the glass sphere was made by hand in Austria.
- The date of issue.
GIA, HRD or the house certificate
Which laboratory certificate applies depends on the stone. Diamonds from 0.30 carat are certified by the Gemological Institute of America, GIA for short. For diamonds below 0.30 carat, diamonds in glass® issues its own certificate. The small pavé diamonds that set the hook, halo or line of some pieces are certified by HRD Antwerp.
| Stone | Certificate |
|---|---|
| Diamond in the sphere from 0.30 carat | GIA |
| Diamond in the sphere below 0.30 carat | Certificate of diamonds in glass® |
| Pavé diamonds in the setting | HRD Antwerp |
The serial number: one piece, one number
The serial number is created with the order and accompanies the piece through production. It links the certificate to exactly this piece and makes it distinguishable, even when two pieces are the same model.
Why the origin of the sphere is noted
What makes a diamond in glass special is the sphere itself. It is made by hand in Austria, in a process patented worldwide. That is why the certificate names not only the stone and the gold, but also the origin of the glass sphere.
