BridePOP, the wedding website, helps its readers with all things weddings. Here they help with diamond purchases and talk up GIA. “Purchasing a diamond is a big step and finding the right one to complete your wedding ring can be pretty intimidating.

No one ever wants to think about being robbed, and especially not about the thought of losing a beloved engagement ring to a thief. Did you know that one key source of information for jewelry theft investigators comes from a global database of diamond information that GIA started in the 1980s?
