GIA Launches Proprietary Cut Program for Diamond Grading Reports

(IDEX News) – GIA laboratory clients can now participate in Proprietary Cut Program for diamonds with branded cut names, the lab has announced.

GIA grading reports for diamonds submitted as part of this program will include the branded name of the proprietary diamond cut with the diamond shape and cutting style description.

Clients that would like to participate in the program will be required to provide supporting documentation, including diamond facet arrangement. Only clients who have completed the documentation will be able to submit diamonds as part of this program. For more information or to apply for this program, clients should contact their client services representative, the GIA said, adding that the enhancement to diamond grading report services is offered at no additional charge.
