Before You Trust.
Check the Report Number
Enter the report number into GIA's official Report Check service and retrieve the corresponding record.
Match the Report Details
Compare the returned information with the physical report — including key diamond characteristics and other available report details.
Connect the Report to the Stone
Where applicable, compare the report information, diamond image or diagram, and inscription with the diamond itself.
Three Things
Should Agree.
Pause.
Don't Assume.
If the information you are comparing does not agree, stop and ask the seller or a qualified professional to clarify the discrepancy before relying on the report.
Go Straight
to GIA.
Use GIA's own Report Check service rather than relying only on a screenshot, forwarded document, or seller-provided link.
