MAKE SURE TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THEIR CERTIFICATES
I ordered one of their solitaire rings that was on sale for a reasonable price. Having very little experience in purchasing jewlery one of the most important points I asked was about the certification. I had read online that they are certified by IGL and IGI and asked on their web chat about it and they confirmed it, so I trusted them and ordered. When I received the ring it DID NOT include a certificate. When I asked by email about the certificate they sent me a picture of a "certificate" from Independent Labs LLC. Their diamond rings DO NOT have markings with a unique number that matches a certificate by a known lab. The lab they showed a "certificate" from was neither IGL or IGI, it was a completely different "lab" namely ilabs LLC. When asked about it they said that they never mentioned International Gemology Labs but Independent Gemology Labs. The first one being a long established reputed company and the second one not. From a blog post on their website: "Our lab-grown diamonds are certified by various world-renowned, independent laboratories, including the International Gemological Laboratories (IGL) and the International Gemological Institute (IGI). Our .25 carat up to .90-carat weight stones are certified by IGL, while any of our diamonds that are .91 carat weight and above are certified by IGI." UPDATE After requesting a refund due to this issue the customer service staff responded quickly and agreed to exchange the diamond with a similar rated diamond certified by IGI. They also removed the blog post to avoid further confusion by customers.
