How Auscert Helps

The fact is that many internationally renowned certifications' colour and clarity ratings have become remarkably inaccurate.

Wide, favourable parameters or general grading certificates and grade pushing are commonplace. This practice happens because customers are demanding better cuts but do not wish to pay additional money.

Moving a stone clarity or colour up a grade compensates for this. Wide proportion parameters for the top grades obviously means that commercial product can be passed off as premium and allows the customers to believe they are purchasing premium goods at a budget price.

General grading groups almost every stone into a "Very Good" grade which means premium, average and commercial quality diamonds all appear the same on paper, making it almost impossible to rely on certifications to judge quality and explain huge price differences for stones with the same grading.


The AUSCERT Diamond Certificate provides you with the benefit of Australia's premium independent diamond certification program.

No matter where you purchase your diamond, with an AUSCERT Diamond Certificate you can be confident that you are getting exactly what you are paying for.

No longer will you be at the mercy of a salesperson whose main interest is in making a sale, regardless of whether you're getting the best possible quality for your money.

If the diamond you purchase comes with an AUSCERT Diamond Certificate, you can be secure in the knowledge that the diamond has been checked, graded and certified by an independent third party to strict and demanding standards, before you part with your hard-earned money.
