Independently Certified Diamonds is an initiative developed by the Diamond Certification Laboratory of Australia (DCLA) to help the diamond consumer locate reputable Australian diamond jewellers dedicated to the fair, ethical, and honest sale of diamonds and diamond jewellery.
All ICD jewellers are committed to providing customers with diamonds examined and graded by qualified and reputable laboratories, grading to internationally recognised standards for accurate and unbiased evaluation of their diamonds. These laboratories are recognised for their procedures, technical ability and cutting edge equipment necessary to analyse and grade diamonds.
Furthermore, these laboratories are genuinely independent of any retailers, manufacturers, and wholesalers, having no commercial gain from the sale of any diamond. This assures an unbiased and objective assessment of the diamond - a conflict of interest exists if the person selling the diamond also determines the grade.
ICD Member jewellers are all specialists in diamonds and diamond jewellery, maintaining a very high standard of customer service, integrity, outstanding quality and value.
Much more than a simple jewellery retailer, ICD diamond jewellers are professional diamond experts and masters of their craft, helping you make one of the most significant purchases of your life.
