International Diamond Certification

Israel Jewelers Association

This is to confirm that YB Soul LTD from 17 Harakon st., Diamond Center Ramat Gan, Israel, is a member of IJA – Israel Jewelers Association, one of the leading jewelry manufacturers in Israel.

To ensure the diamonds you purchase from YB Soul are genuine and fully comply with the specified characteristics , you need a grading report – also known as a diamond passport, quality document, laboratory report, dossier, appraisal or certificate. Generally, such certifications are considered a scientific document from an independent gemological center, and as such, include information about the diamond's authenticity and confirmation of its characteristics, e.g. Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat (known as the 4Cs).

GIA, HRD, IGL and IGI are reputable international organizations, which certify diamond quality and are recognized all over the world. YB Soul Jewelry also issues its own certificate, which indicates the exact data regarding cut, clarity, color and carat weight of diamonds and other precious stones used in our products. Each of our creations comes with a YB Soul certificate and a guarantee of authenticity and integrity of the YB Soul diamond.

YB Soul Certificate

YB Soul provides gemological grading services and evaluates diamonds according to all the current internationally recognized standards. Our advanced technology enables us to determine the diamond characteristics such as cut, color, clarity and carat. Our certificate includes a diamond analysis report, which guarantees that the diamond was tested, examined and graded using advanced equipment, which YB Soul utilized at the time of analysis. Differences between the findings in YB Soul’s report and the findings in other evaluations are mostly due to different grading methods or the use of newly developed technologies and equipment, among others.
