Verify Your Diamond Grading Report Online.
GIA (Gemological Institute of America) announced today that consumers and retailers will soon be able to check information on any GIA Diamond Grading Report or Diamond Dossier issued post January 1, 2000 via GIA’s new online Report Check service, due to begin on January 1.
The new online service is free, and comes on the heels of recent reports of counterfeit grading certificates found in London and in Antwerp. The service will be available by entering the GIA report number and weight of the diamond, and will provide all of the critical information on the original report, including a cut grade if applicable. The Report Check will also help determine whether the diamond should be submitted for a new cut grade.
In a press release on December 21, the GIA’s laboratory and research senior vice president, Thomas Moses, said that the new service will dissuade the use of counterfeit GIA reports as well as help preserve public trust in diamonds. The institute will also update the laboratory section on its website to provide customers with useful information on how to submit diamonds to the GIA lab as well as on day-to-day business.
In a separate release on December 21, the GIA reminded clients that those who own a diamond with a GIA Diamond Grading Report or Diamond Dossier will be able to submit their old report for a new version. The new version will include the new cut grade for D-to-Z color, standard round brilliant diamonds.
For round brilliant diamonds graded between August 1 to December 31, 2005, the new report will be issued free of charge without the diamond through March 2006. For round brilliant diamonds graded from January 1 to July 31, 2005, a new report will be issued for a fee of $15 through March 2006. For round brilliant diamonds graded prior to January 1, 2005, a new report will reflect the current date and will cost 75 percent of the diamond grading fee. After March 2006, services will return to standard fees, the GIA said.
The GIA said its education branch will introduce the new Diamond Cut Grading System in its on-campus diploma programs and lab classes in January 2006. Hands-on lab classes will also be available for graduates of the Diamonds and Graduate Gemologist diploma programs in order to update them on the new cut grade. GIA Education will also offer seminars at selected trade shows.

I’ve read several good stuff here. Certainly worth bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how much effort you put to make such a magnificent informative web site.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

These 3M 8210Plus Particulate masks may appear like they may be specific BIRD FLU masks but really theyre just ordinary 3M Particulate Respirator 8210 N95 masks that you simply could get on the hardware store or elsewere on Amazon for less.

Surely a questionable l ist.Equally Aol and Nickelodeon do notdeserve to be while in the ideal redesigns,in my opinion.Number one redesign would have to be the Metropolis of Melbourne logo.
