In today’s world of online jewelry shopping, trust is everything. Whether you're buying a delicate pair of earrings or an investment-grade gemstone necklace, knowing that your jewelry is certified and authentic gives you peace of mind.

At Raj gems, we offer only genuine, certified jewelry — including IGI-certified diamonds and BIS hallmarked silver and gold pieces.

Let’s break down what these certifications mean, how to identify them, and why they matter for you as a buyer.

What Is Jewelry Certification?

Jewelry certification is a document issued by a recognized authority or laboratory that verifies:

• The authenticity of the metal or gemstone

• Its purity and quality

• Its origin (natural or lab-grown)

Think of it like a passport for your jewelry — it confirms what you're buying is real and verified.

What is IGI Certification?

IGI stands for International Gemological Institute, one of the world's most trusted gem certification labs.

IGI certifies:

• Natural and lab-grown diamonds

• Gemstone cut, color, clarity, and carat

• Jewelry pieces that include diamonds

What to look for:

• A printed IGI certificate with a unique ID number

• A laser-engraved code on the stone (in high-value pieces)

• Details like “lab-grown” or “natural origin” clearly marked

At Raj gems, all Lab Grown and Natural diamond pieces with IGI certificates are shipped with full documentation.
