Appraisal
A gemstone appraisal is a detailed document that provides a professional evaluation and analysis of a gemstone. This appraisal serves to transparently present the value and quality of the gemstone.
Our appraisal is internationally recognized and offers you a comprehensive evaluation and analysis of your gemstone. This appraisal, included in the price of every gemstone purchased from Carat Investments, ensures transparency and security for your investment. This detailed appraisal not only serves as proof of authenticity and quality of your gemstone but also supports value determination for insurance purposes and future transactions.
GIA-Certificate
A GIA-Certificate, issued by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), is a highly esteemed document that provides an independent evaluation and analysis of a gemstone. This certificate is internationally recognized and guarantees the authenticity and quality of the gemstone. At Carat Investments, a GIA certificate is included in the price of each purchased gemstone, providing you with additional security and confidence in your investment.
This certificate is an essential document for any gemstone owner, as it not only secures the investment but also aids in sales and insurance matters.
