A diamond grading report should include a plotted diagram of your diamond and all significant characteristics, including cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. The report will also describe the diamond's shape, exact measurements, proportions and percentages as well as grade the overall proportions, symmetry and polish. It should also comment on the characteristics like fluorescence, graining, and any notable characteristics of the diamond. A good laboratory will also determine whether the diamond has been treated. Treatments to enhance the colour and purity of the diamond significantly reduce the value of the diamond. By international standards, these treatments should be disclosed.

A certificate is an objective expert opinion. Certification of a diamond is a safeguard for the consumer as it is verification of your diamond's authenticity and specific characteristics. Therefore, the certification in itself is a valuable document.
