Diamonds in GIA laboratories will receive a printed report after this date submitted for Diamond Dossier services. These printed reports will be identical to those previously issued before the digital-only report was introduced in January 2023.
GIA will also provide, free of charge and upon request, a printed GIA Diamond Dossier to clients for diamonds that initially received a digital-only report. The digital report and digital Report Access Card will remain an option for those who prefer this format.
GIA's decision to revert to printed reports was a response to concerns from clients, manufacturers, brokers, wholesalers, brands, and retailers about the challenges of integrating digital-only reports into their processes.
Pritesh Patel, GIA's senior vice president and chief operating officer, acknowledged in a report that the organization did not fully anticipate the difficulties in adopting digital-only reports.
Clients can request a complimentary printed GIA Diamond Dossier for diamonds that originally received a digital-only report by emailing dossierrequest@gia.edu, including the original report number and the submitting client's name.
Report information will still be accessible in the GIA App and on GIA's online Report Check Service and API.
