The most convenient way to obtain a GIA Diamond Grading Report or a Diamond Dossier® is through a local fine jewelry retailer. Retail jewelers are uniquely qualified to obtain a GIA report and to explain its contents.GIA changed their policies at the beginning of 2006 and all clients now pay the same fees, including consumers. GIA does not recommend individual appraisers; there are several national appraisal associations and networks that will be able to help you locate an appraiser in your area. If you trust your jeweler to do the grading in-house then you don’t need a lab but, in practice, the lab fees are usually a few percent.
