Certification:
Before purchasing a diamond, you should expect to review a copy of its certificate as proof that it has undergone an unbiased, professional examination.
What Is A Certificate?
A diamond certificate, also called a Diamond Grading Report, Diamond Dossier, or Diamond Quality Document, is a report created by a team of gemologists. The diamond is evaluated, measured, and scrutinized using trained eyes, a jeweler’s loupe, a microscope, and other industry tools. A completed certificate includes an analysis of the diamond’s dimensions, clarity, color, polish, symmetry, and other characteristics. Many round diamonds will also include a cut grade on the report.
MDC Diamonds Are Certified:

Every loose diamond sold by MDC has been analyzed and graded by one of the following gem labs.

       ♦  The Gemological Institute of America (GIA)
       ♦  The American Gem Society Laboratories (AGS)
       ♦  The European Gemological laboratory (EGL)
       ♦  The International Gemological Institution (IGI)
       ♦  The Empire Gemological Services (EGS)

These laboratories are among the most respected laboratories in the diamond industry, and are known for their consistency and unbiased diamond grading systems. Diamonds that are accompanied by these grading reports are the most highly valued in the industry.

In addition to being graded by either the GIA or the AGS, all MDC Signature Collection diamonds are certified by EGS. This additional certification provides a second independent and authoritative analysis of your diamond. EGS also verifies that your diamond meets all of the demanding quality requirements of the MDC Signature Collection.

If you are interested in a diamond and a certificate is not available for viewing on the site, simply contact a diamond and jewelry consultant at service@mdcdiamonds.com or 1-866-239-4315.

Laser Inscription:

Many of our diamonds are laser inscribed with the certificate number on the girdle of the diamond, for your protection and peace of mind.

The process of using a micro-laser beam to etch a microscopic inscription onto the girdle of a diamond.

This number is only visible under magnification. All of our diamonds are shipped with their own original certificates and you can always be certain that the diamond you have is the same one described on the certificate with its matching unique number.

If a diamond is not laser inscribed you can request to have the certificate number to be inscribed on the girdle of the diamond by contacting a diamond and jewelry consultant at service@mdcdiamonds.com or 1-866-239-4315.

An absolutely perfect shopping experience.

I really must encourage anyone in need or want of jewelery to be sure to call MDC Diamonds. I live in Florida and was not having much luck locally shopping for an engagement ring for my fiance. while researching on the internet I came across a ring that caught my eye offered by MDC. Looking further into their offerings I found the perfect ring. Very original, especially in comparison to the generic, "same old" found at the local chain jewelers. It was a beautiful heart shaped diamond with two pink sapphires, one to either side set in 14kt gold. I called MDC on the phone and was delighted by the very polite, friendly service I received. Within a short time I had all the details, many suggestions and plenty of help understanding everything. I made the purchase over the phone quickly and easily. The ring arrived exactly when expected and packaged very well in an attractive little box unlike the felt covered boxes found everywhere else I've been. I proposed to my girlfriend under the fireworks, at the princess castle at Disneyworld while "When you wish Upon a Star" played and the ring is still the one thing she remembers most. thank you so much for your help MDC! I must insist that anyone in need of fine jewelery call MDC Diamonds!
