Diamond Certificates
Diamond certificates from independent organizations such as
the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) provide a diamond grading report,
that gives you valuable information about the 4 C's that were taken into
consideration when the diamond was priced.
It's important that you use an outside source for diamond certificates,
instead of the jeweler who is selling the diamond you are interested in,
because the jeweler wants to make money on the sale of the diamonds, the
certificates may be slightly biased and you could be paying more than the
market value of the diamond.
Reasons to have
Diamond Certificates
When you go to a jewelry store, or consider making a
purchase from an online retailer, the jewelry that has diamond certificates tends
to sell for several hundred dollars more than diamonds that are graded the same
that are without certificates. This is
because the jeweler recognizes that they typically grade their diamonds one
level better than an independent grading organization, like the Gemological
Institute of America. The GIA is more
conservative when grading diamonds because they do not gain anything from
diamond sales.
Pay the Right Price
for your Diamond
Diamonds are valued according to their quality based on a
grading system that makes use of the 4 C's.
You should receive diamond certificates (also called grading reports)
from independent companies rather than a jeweler, to insure that your getting
an unbiased reporting of the value of the diamond. Otherwise, you could be paying much more for
your diamond than what the diamond is actually worth.
Protecting Your
Investment
Diamonds are not the same kind of investment as buying
stocks and bonds, but having diamond certificates gives you a better investment
than just having the diamond. Diamond
certificates make it easier to sell a diamond in the future, because you have
documentation of how much the diamond is worth and why it was valued that
amount. In fact, if you attempt to sell
diamonds without having diamond certificates, most dealers will not buy from
you and you would end up having a certificate drawn up anyway, so you may as
well have a certificate grading report created at the time of purchase, for
your current protection as well as future possibilities for selling.
Increased Security
during Cleanings and Repairs
Many people hesitate to bring their jewelry into the
jeweler's when they're in need of repair services or cleaning. It makes people wonder how they'll know for
sure that they've received the same diamond back that they brought in. It is an extremely rare occurrence for a
jeweler to purposely switch diamonds, however it could happen
unintentionally. Diamond certificates
act as an additional security measure in this case. They are like fingerprints stored in police
databases; they contain all the data needed to match the person to the
fingerprints, and diamond certificates have enough information on the diamond
to match the diamond with the certificate and the owner.
Bangladesh Informations
Bangladesh emerged as an independent and sovereign country in 1971 following a ninemonth war of liberation. It is one of the largest deltas of the world with a total area of 147,570 sq. km. With a unique communal harmony, Bangladesh has a population of about 142 million, making it one of the densely populated countries of the world. The majority (about 88%) of the people are Muslim. Over 98% of the people speak in Bangla. English, however, is widely spoken. The country is covered with a network of rivers and canals forming a maze of interconnecting channels.
Bangladesh has a glorious history and rich heritage. Once it was known as ‘Sonar Bangla’ or the Golden Bengal. The territory now constituting Bangladesh was under the Muslim rule for over five and a half centuries from 1201 to 1757 AD. Subsequently, it came under the British rule following the defeat of the sovereign ruler, Nawab Sirajuddaula, at the battle of Palassey on 23 June, 1757. The British ruled over the Indian sub-continent including this territory for nearly 190 years from 1757 to 1947. During that period, Bangladesh was a part of the British Indian provinces of Bengal and Assam. With the termination of British rule in August 1947, the sub-continent was partitioned into India and Pakistan. Bangladesh formed a part of Pakistan and was called ‘East Pakistan’. It remained so for about 24 years from August 14, 1947 to March 25, 1971. Bangladesh liberated on December 16, 1971 following the victory of the War of Liberation and appeared on the world map as an independent and sovereign country.The country is the pioneer in micro-credit concept for poverty reduction, which brought the Nobel Prize in Peace for the country in 2006.
