SB_eReport-(2) — Only natural, untreated diamonds qualify for the GIA Diamond eReport, a new service that facilitates trading by allowing reports to be easily shared via e-mail, online, and digital devices.

The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is adding a digital diamond grading report to its lineup, allowing users to more easily share results.

The GIA Diamond eReport is available for natural, D-to-Z colour diamonds from .15 to 2.99 carats. It delivers grading results online through the institute’s Report Check, a secure web-based report database.

“The GIA Diamond eReport marks GIA’s first entry into the digital-only report space, and we have plans underway to further expand such offerings,” said Thomas M. Moses, GIA’s senior vice-president of laboratory and research. “Our goal is to continue to develop methods that allow us to deliver technical information to our clients rapidly and, in turn, help our clients pass that information on to their customers. At the same time, we remain steadfast in our commitment and investment in providing services of the highest quality to ensure on-going consumer confidence in gems.”

The report’s paperless format is one example of GIA’s commitment to environmental responsibility, as well as allowing it to provide the service at a lower fee. A detailed face-up image of the diamond taken during the grading process is included. GIA permanently stores the photo and the diamond’s metrics in its database, which is accessible at any time.
