If you are looking to buy or sell diamonds, you may have come across the term a ‘diamond certificate of authenticity.’ Diamonds are extremely valuable items, and as a result, some individuals may feel understandably more confident purchasing a diamond that has been authenticated, with the certification to prove it.

What Is a Diamond Certificate of Authenticity?

An authenticity certification is an official document issued by an independent laboratory guaranteeing the said diamond. A certificate should be issued by an independent party from the diamond seller and should outline the characteristics justifying the price. These are also applicable to diamond rings, which could come with a diamond ring certificate of authenticity.

Do You Need a Diamond Certificate of Authenticity to Sell a Diamond?

Any supplemental documents or information required for a sale will depend on the person buying a diamond from you. It is safe to assume that most individual consumers will request certification, to ensure they are not being sold a fake diamond, and most likely do not have the capability to tell themselves.

Other buyers, such as pawnshops, may not require these documents, however, they may drop their offered price as a result of not having a certification. As trusted gold buyers, we often advise against selling valuable jewelry and items to pawn shops, which often offer prices way below market value.
