Hi there!
Much of the customers are worried whether the diamonds they are purchasing are of genuine quality or not and how transparent its pricing are. For this customers are advised to buy diamonds from a trustworthy seller or someone who will provide you with the authentic certifications like GIA, IGI, HRD, AGS and GEL(International or USA).
A diamond certificate is issued following an unbiased and professional examination to authenticate a diamond's attributes. The carat weight, colour and clarity are all validated, together with the diamond's exact measurements. Cut grades are also included for Round Brilliant cuts. Certificates are essential in determining or testifying a diamond's value.
BEWARE: Always buy a certificated diamond - Unless you are purchasing jewellery set with smaller diamonds, with a centre stone 0.30ct or above, to be certain of the quality insist on a certificate - If your diamond is not graded by one of the 5 internationally recognised certificates listed above, chances are the grading stated is misleading and that you are purchasing something of lesser quality than indicated. Unfortunately some retail shops and online stores self certify, for the sole purpose of increasing their margin on the product sold.
There were traditionally 4 C's
THE CUT
THE COLOR
THE CLARITY
THE CARAT WEIGHT
Due to increase in awareness and misleading certifications another C was added eventually.
THE CERTIFICATION
Here's a sample report by one of the laboratories
This isn't a question paper and these aren't just answers. They are extremely important as customers to know what you are buying. The government of India has provided full authority for customers under RTI which is Right to Information.
So, without hesitating ask as many question you like from the seller. Even if you do not understand some of the information on the spot, write it down on a piece of paper or ask your seller to write it down for you if the time permits. By this after returning home you have ample of time reading it again and again and searching it through web about things that you do not understand or asking it from a trusted knowledgeable person.

| See the black dots? They are inclusions translated in hindi literally as the amount of क च रा in your diamonds. |

| Do not be worried if you do not have a budget that allows you to buy a more finer diamond because your eyes can't see it without a microsope and besides the fact is that you are still buying certified diamonds. And as we all say Diamonds तो Diamonds ही है !! |
