Diamond Jewellery Certificate

I would like to share the following certificates to the circle so that proper authenticity of certificate can be modified as per the international norms. I find certain defects in the certificate issued by the concerned authorities. We pay for the diamonds fitted in gold of different purity. The certificate should be uniform with all details as per international standards. Necessary action may kindly be instituted to form a committee to deal with this issue. Only two of the certificates have been presented. There are so many players in India selling diamond studded rings/earrings etc. and uniform policy is to be devised so that consumer gets the benefit and requires to be streamlined.
1. Certificate issued by Issued by International Gemological Institute, India.

It is unfortunate that the consumer grievances has not been resolved. The ministry can initiate necessary action against the Certification Agency, IGH, Mumbai where their Principals, IGH International has issued authority as per the international norms. IGH, Mumbai has not complied. When I requested to retrieve all the certificates issued by them and issue fresh certificates to the International norms. Kindly look into the matter seriously since it is a serious issue for the consumer. We pay money for the diamond purchased which should be transparent and consumer friendly. All the diamond jewellery manufacturers and sellers should be requested to send their certificates to protect the consumers interest and validate their certificates. Like BIS there is no Certification Agency to verify the certificate and validate the certificate. more

Russian artificial diamonds are no different from natural one.....in the age of nano tech it is difficult to put a standard. again why to purchase something which has low resale value......and not synonymous with currency. Gold is equivalent to any currency. On Sat, Nov 5, 2016 at 9:18 AM, Raghavan Ramasubramanian < support@localcirclesmail.com> wrote: > more
