ALL DIAMONDS SUPPLIED IN LLOYDS FAMILY JEWELLERY ARE CONFLICT FREE, SELECTED ITEMS ARE LAB CERTIFIED.

If an item of jewellery is provided with a laboratory certificate this will be clearly stated on the product description. All items, even those without lab certificates are provided with a certificate of authenticity from Lloyd's Jewellery. This can also be used as a document for insurance replacement.

 Why are some items not supplied with a Laboratory Certificate?

Many jewellery items on our website are not provided with laboratory certificates. The reason being is that this will increase the price of the jewellery item, in a bid to offer low prices on high quality diamond jewellery we offer our own authenticity certificates free of charge. Items with lots of small diamonds may also not come with a certificate as laboratories have limits on the size and number of diamonds to be certified in a single piece.

If you would like a laboratory certificate we may be able to send your jewellery to be certified at an additional cost. Fees vary depending on the type of certificate required and the number of stones to be certified (20 diamonds max). This service takes approximatly 7-10 working days.

EDR recognises the need for concise jewellery reports. The EDR Jewellery Report is presented on a concise, smart credit card. The purpose is to provide a detailed description of the article of jewellery. This includes the diamond colour, clarity, carat weight, diamond quantity and further details of the content of any precious metals.
To further identify the item, a photograph is provided.

This Jewellery report, which is issued by EDR, makes no warranty or guarantee regarding the diamond described in the report. The report represents the professional opinion of its organization, but doesn’t reflect the financial value of the diamond.

The diamond described has been examined in the workshop of EDR by our professional staff with the most exact instruments which are available in the industry.All gemstones are evaluated in their mountings which can obscure overall conclusions and thus the results expressed have been examined only to the extent that that mounting has enabled us to do so.

These reports are ideal for professionals and consumers who desire a permanent record of the actual identity, authenticity and quality of a particular article of jewellery. This service has come to be invaluable to our retail and online partners adding value to products and peace of mind to consumers who have confidence in purchasing a jewellery piece that has been summarised by an independent organisation.

The IGl Diamond Report is essentially a statement attesting to the authenticity of a diamond and provides a reliable and accurate report of its identity and grade based on an internationally recognized system. 

For more than 50 years, fine jewelers everywhere have considered the GIA Diamond Grading Report the premier credential of a diamond’s authenticity and quality. 

The GIA Diamond Grading Report includes an assessment of a diamond’s 4C’s – color, clarity, cut, and carat weight – along with a plotted diagram of its clarity characteristics and a graphic representation of the diamond’s proportions. For standard round brilliant cut diamonds falling in the D-Z color range, the report also includes a GIA Cut grade.

The GIA laboratory issues diamond grading reports for loose, natural diamonds in the D-Z color range that weigh 0.15 carats or more. GIA Diamond Grading Reports are not issued for synthetics, simulants, mounted diamonds or those that have undergone unstable treatments, such as fracture filling or coating. And while reports may be issued for diamonds that have been laser drilled or HPHT processed, these stable treatments are prominently disclosed on the report.

EGL (European Gemological Laboratory) are regarded as one of the worlds major diamond grading laboratories, many loose diamonds found on the market today will carry an this certificate. EGL uses universally recognized standards for grading diamonds. An EGL certificate is a valued document that aids consumers in the diamond buying process and is the result of thorough scrutiny of a diamond.
