When you start looking at purchasing natural, high-quality diamonds that have been tested, many options may surprise you. There are many different rating systems and inspection services available. However, one of the most well-known is EGL diamonds. In this article, you will learn more about EGL diamonds, what is EGL certified for diamonds, and the essential things you have to know before you purchase a diamond.

EGL DIAMONDS IN GENERAL

The first step is discovering exactly what EGL diamonds mean. EGL stands for European Gemological Laboratory. This organization is one of the key players when it comes to examining and rating diamonds of all sizes, shapes, and types. EGL is a large independent institute that focuses on gemstone research and certification. While there are any number of companies that provide this service, EGL is one of the oldest—offering extensive knowledge and expertise on the subject.

Diamonds that were certified by EGL are usually named EGL certified diamonds or, in the short form, EGL diamonds.

IMPORTANCE OF EGL CERTIFIED DIAMONDS

Many companies that buy, sell, and produce products with diamonds use the services offered by EGL. If something is EGL certified, it means that one of the employees of this laboratory has inspected the diamond and certified that it meets or exceeds the standards put in place by the firm for that particular grade. EGL certified diamonds can be big, small, high-quality, or affordable—they just must meet the requirements for THAT grade category.
