Not all blemishes are the result of damage. If your diamond has a grading report with a plot diagram, you can check to see if a blemish, or other clarity characteristic, was present when the diamond was graded. We do not comment on what’s visible in a photograph because the diamond needs to be physically examined. We suggest asking a gemologist or your jeweler to look at the diamond.

Hi there. Would you be able to tell me which kind of blemish this is? Bottom right ish, very noticeable. I got the ring sized and they polished it as well and so the sparkles was all I noticed until a week later when I realize there’s a big blemish. The picture in the low light was taken just 3 hours after getting back from the jeweler. Could I really have done this much damage? That was my first time wearing the ring and I was so conscious of wearing it that I was extra careful with my hands. I don’t think there was any hard impact which would have prompt me to examine the ring earlier. Please help

Hi Yen, While GIA doesn’t offer appraisal courses, we do offer courses on diamonds and diamond grading. With online courses, you study from home via the internet. On campus courses are taught in fully equipped classrooms. We have 9 campus locations around the world. So, depending on where you live, there might be a campus closer than Dubai. You can learn more about our educational offerings, and the difference between online and on campus education on our website: https://www.gia.edu/gem-education or please email our admissions team: admissions@gia.edu . Thank you for your interest!

Hello,

I plan to take a course in diamond appraisal first for my own interest and possibly career in the industry. Could you advice my which education course to take? what is the difference between online and on campus course. Distance from my place to GIA campus in Dubai is very far, so I think of online course as an option. Your response is much awaited. Thank you

A “natural” is a portion of the rough diamond’s original surface, or skin, left on the surface of a polished diamond. An indented natural is a portion of the rough diamond’s original surface that dips below a polished diamond’s surface.
