Ada Diamonds, a custom fine jeweler of laboratory-grown diamonds, is now offering AGS grading reports as part of the American Gem Society Laboratories (AGS Laboratories) pilot program for laboratory-grown diamonds.

Ada Diamonds has submitted numerous laboratory-grown diamonds for AGS Laboratories grading, and every diamond submitted thus far has received the widely coveted AGS Ideal® grade.

"As the first luxury jeweler to exclusively sell laboratory-grown diamonds, our core focus is delivering bespoke jewelry of highest quality," says Jason Payne, Founder and CEO of Ada Diamonds. "We were honored to be the only retailer invited to participate in the pilot program with AGS Laboratories, and we are delighted to offer our clients the peace of mind that comes with the purchase of an AGS Laboratories graded diamond."

"AGS Laboratories is proud to collaborate with Ada Diamonds on our pilot laboratory-grown diamond grading program," said Jason Quick, Executive Director of AGS Laboratories. "Ada Diamonds bring integrity, expertise, and the shared belief that laboratory-grown diamonds are a unique blend of art and science."

AGS Laboratories, a nonprofit diamond grading laboratory with a mission of consumer protection recently resumed grading laboratory-grown diamonds, a service they discontinued in 2013. AGS Laboratories is well known for its unique AGS Ideal® Cut Grade, a 0-10 numerical assessment of a diamond's light performance, brightness, fire, and contrast. AGS Ideal® applies only to the finest cut diamonds and is recognized worldwide as the pinnacle of diamond cutting. AGS reports for laboratory-grown diamonds include full fidelity color and clarity grades of D-Z and FL-I3 with a special "LG" indicator.

Here is a sample of Ada's laboratory-grown diamonds graded by AGS Laboratories.
