Carat Investments

The authenticity of each purchased gemstone can be verified through the accompanying certificate. This certificate provides an independent and impartial assessment and confirms the uniqueness and quality of your gemstone through a detailed analysis of its 4Cs: Carat, Clarity, Color, and Cut. Our certifications are issued by internationally recognized institutions known for their expertise and independence. This ensures the highest standards of transparency. For diamonds, we provide certificates from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), and for colored gemstones, we use certifications from renowned institutions such as the Gemresearch Swisslab (GRS) or the Swiss Gemmological Institute (SSEF).

The quality of a gemstone is determined by the 4Cs: Carat (weight), Clarity, Color, and Cut. A higher carat weight indicates a larger gemstone, while clarity describes the absence of inclusions and blemishes. The color is graded on a scale and should be interpreted differently depending on the type of gemstone, as various gemstones exhibit different color characteristics. The cut refers to the proportions, symmetry, and polishing of the gemstone, which together determine its brilliance and visual appeal.

We understand our customers' concerns regarding blood gemstones or conflict gemstones, which, as defined by the Kimberley Process, are stones whose proceeds fund violent conflicts. To address these concerns, we assure that, at the time of purchase, blood gemstones are strictly excluded on our part. We adhere to strict compliance lists and legal prohibitions that prevent the trade of conflict gemstones. Our commitment to ethical business practices and transparency ensures that you can shop with confidence, knowing that your choice does not contribute to the funding of conflicts.
