Certificates
GRA Moissanite
Wondering if you'll receive certification with your purchase? The answer is yes!
Every moissanite purchase comes with an official GRA Certificate and Moissanite Report, provided by the Global Gemological Research Association Institute.
Since 1993, and for many years, professionals in the trade have relied on GRA for its expertise, consistency, and dependability in gemstone identification and grading.
What information does the GRA Certificate provide?
The GRA Certificate features a grading report that details measurements, carat weight, color grade, clarity grade, shape and cutting style, as well as the cut grade.
It also outlines the proportions, including depth, table size, crown height, pavilion depth, girdle thickness, and culet size.
Lastly, it assesses the finish in terms of polish and symmetry.
