THIRD PARTY CERTIFICATE -IGI

FJP issues a free Certificate of Authenticity for each diamond jewelry order. If you require a third-party certificate, you have the option of purchasing one from the International Gemological Institute (IGI). To add a certificate to any order, simply click the checkbox on the product configuration under the diamond quality section. FJP will send the jewelry item to the IGI on your behalf and have the jewelry item appraised and certified. Adding a third party appraisal typically adds 5 business days to the estimated delivery date shown on our website. Once the IGI has completed the jewelry inspection and printed the appraisal, FJP will notify you via email that your package has been shipped. All certified orders include the jewelry, IGI certificate, and standard documents issued by FJP.

These gemological factors include the authenticity and weight of the precious metals, identification and the quality of diamonds and gemstones.
