Why Certification Matters in the Lab Grown Diamond Market
In today’s rapidly evolving jewellery market, lab grown diamonds have emerged as a sustainable, ethical, and affordable alternative to mined diamonds. However, with their rising popularity comes the need for clarity and trust. That’s where IGI certification plays a crucial role. If you’re buying lab grown diamond jewellery in Bangalore, especially from trusted stores like Tri-Dia, understanding certification is key to making a smart investment.
This guide will walk you through how to identify IGI certified lab grown diamonds, decode a diamond certificate, and ensure you’re getting authentic quality and value.
What Is IGI Certification?
The International Gemological Institute (IGI) is one of the world’s most reputable and widely recognized gem certification authorities. IGI evaluates diamonds—including lab created diamonds—based on the 4Cs:
Cut
Color
Clarity
Carat Weight
An IGI certificate guarantees that the lab diamond you are buying is genuine, accurately graded, and ethically produced. For buyers in Bangalore and across India, this assurance is especially important when making a high-value purchase like a lab grown engagement ring or solitaire necklace.

✅ Trust & Transparency: IGI provides detailed diamond grading reports that are globally accepted.
🌱 Ethical & Eco-Friendly: Certification ensures your diamond meets ethical sourcing standards, ideal for those seeking sustainable diamond jewellery Bangalore.
💰 Better Value for Money: Compared to natural diamonds, IGI certified lab grown diamonds offer more sparkle for your budget.

How to Verify an IGI Certificate
Buying a lab grown diamond near me? Follow these steps to verify your IGI certificate:

Every IGI diamond comes with a unique report ID. This number is printed on the physical certificate and laser inscribed on the diamond’s girdle.
