Retailer programme

Our retail partners: HRD Retailers & Points of Trust (PoT)

At HRD Antwerp we make a difference between the HRD retailer and an HRD PoT (Point of Trust). Both made a different level of commitment with HRD Antwerp. As an independent lab we don’t see our role limited as making sure your jewellery and diamonds get certified and keep their value, but also to inform you on how to protect and inform yourself as a customer. Information is knowledge.

Some of our retailers use us only as a laboratory. Those are our HRD retailers. Those who are committed and ready to maintain our highest standards of customer support, are our Points of Trust.

For the best experiences and the highest degree of guarantee on getting the most out of your jewellery experience, we recommend to shop at our Points of Trust.

 

HRD RETAILER

An HRD retailer is a jewellery store that sells HRD Antwerp certified jewellery and diamonds. All HRD certified products of HRD Antwerp can be verified through MyHRD.

An HRD retailer might have had training by HRD Antwerp, but it is not required. Only a Point of Trust is an official member of the retailer network of HRD Antwerp.

HRD POINT OF TRUST

This retailer has made a different commitment with HRD Antwerp. He’s an official partner of HRD antwerp and uses HRD Antwerp provided technology to assist his customers in his sales. He also provides information to the customer on how to buy jewellery and diamonds with our jewellery buying guide. He had training by HRD Antwerp and will be checked by HRD Antwerp to maintain the quality standard of our certified products.

On top of that he can participate in our store credit programme where customers can win up to INR 80,000 (in India) or AED 4,000 (in UAE). Ask your retailer for more information on how to participate.

A Point of Trust is committed to make sure you get maximum value out of your purchases by explaining the importance of an international certificate.

If you want to be sure that a retailer is still a Point of Trust, all PoT’s can be verified on our website in the POT section.

If a Point of Trust violates one of these rules or does not live up to our standard, you can inform HRD Antwerp directly by sending us an email on: info@hrdantwerp.com.

Natural Diamond Grading Report

An HRD Antwerp Natural Diamond Grading Report is an objective report that confirms a polished natural diamond’s authenticity and provides a detailed description of its key characteristics, the so- called 4Cs: Carat, Colour, Clarity and Cut.

EXAMINATION

When registered in our lab, your diamond or jewellery will be thoroughly examined by our graders and will undergo the following steps:

WEIGHT

SCREENING

MEASUREMENT

FLUORESCENCE

COLOUR

CLARITY

CUT

The weight of a diamond is expressed in carats. One carat equals 0.2 grams or 100 points, which indicates the size. HRD Antwerp has extremely accurate scales that measure up to five figures after the decimal point.

The first step is to determine if your diamond is natural, laboratory-grown or treated. If a diamond does not pass the initial test, it will be directed to our research department to further determine its nature.

Your diamond is accurately measured in millimetres as mentioned below: minimum diameter – maximum diameter in mm x height in mm (example: 6.44 – 6.47 mm x 4.04 mm)

The fluorescence grade under long wave is mentioned in the report. For the “Natural Diamond Colour Grading Report” the fluorescence grade under short wave is also mentioned.

Most diamonds range in colour from colourless (‘D’) to tinted colour (‘Z’). The colour grade is determined by comparison with a series of master stones, the best grade being D.

All natural diamonds have traces of their growth history, which determines the diamond’s purity. In most gem-quality diamonds, these are minor internal characteristics or inclusions. The very best and rarest stones are graded ‘loupe clean’ or 'LC'.

A diamond’s cut is essential to its beauty and is a combination of craftsmanship and scientific knowledge. The right proportions, symmetry and polish create internal reflections that maximise a stone’s sparkle, brilliance and fire.

HEARTS & ARROWS DIAMONDS

LASER INSCRIPTION

SEALING

Hearts & Arrows diamonds are precisely cut round brilliants that, when examined using a special viewer, display eight hearts through the pavilion of the diamond (from below) and eight arrows through the crown of the diamond (from above). The appearance of the pattern is a strong indicator of a top-quality cut.

o inscribe diamonds with lasers, HRD Antwerp uses high-quality excimer shortwave technology. It cannot be seen with the naked eye and consequently does not affect the diamond’s physical appearance or value. Laser inscription can either be used to match your diamond and its corresponding grading report or to customise your diamond with a personalised message or logo.

Sealing guarantees that an issued grading report and the corresponding diamond belong together, and it keeps the diamond safe from oil and dirt. The HRD Antwerp sealing is tamper-proof.

Laboratory Grown Diamond Grading Report

Every diamond is tested to determine whether it is natural. If it is found to be laboratory grown, under disclosed conditions, we will issue a Laboratory Grown Diamond Grading Report, with this clear wording on the cover. The presence of the laser inscription is mentioned on the Grading Report, including a reference number and statement that the diamond has been laboratory grown. The same nomenclature as in a Natural Diamond Grading Report is used, with a detailed description of the 4Cs.
