How can you confirm that a diamond corresponds to its GIA certificate?
There are several ways: * You can send the diamond to be tested again. GIA offers a discounted rate for reexaminations within 60 days of the original testing. * You can send the diamond to be tested again, without suggesting its a reexamination. * You can compare the report number to the number inscribed on the diamond, if the diamond has been inscribed. * Ask a graduate gemologist to draw a map of the diamond's inclusions and blemishes, and compare this to your GIA map. Each diamond's map is unique, like a fingerprint. (Not all GIA certificates include a map.) Here are some suggestions that can be done by yourself or with a local jeweler: * If the diamond is loose, it can be weighed to see if it matches the certificate * A jeweler can usually examine it and provide a quick idea if the certificate is close, based on the color and inclusions. (If the jeweler thinks it is an H color and SI2 clarity, but the certificate says F color and VS1, this would be a good indication it may not match) * You can inspect the clarity yourself, but clean the diamond first. If the diamond clarity is IF, VVS or VS clarity, you will need magnification to see any inclusions, but if you can see any inclusions with the naked eye, it is an SI or I clarity.

Diamond has what type of luster?
Adamantine to waxy luster are the words used to describe the luster of diamonds. According to Wikipedia: "Adamantine minerals possess a superlative lustre, which is most notably seen in diamond. Such minerals are transparent or translucent, and have a high refractive index (of 1.9 or more)." Luster is the clarity and refractivity of an individual stone. Not all diamonds are created equal. Flawless diamonds are extremely rare and can be prohibitively expensive for most of us. In jewelry, generally diamonds evaluated as those containing VVSI (very very slightly included) to SI2 (two slight inclusions), are more affordable. SI2 is generally the lowest grade for good gems. Inclusions can be any imperfection. The luster is its refractiveness. Its ability to bounce back available light from inside the stone. This can be affected by the color, cut or clarity. Only 20% of all diamonds mined are gem-stone quality.
