LE MAZ provides independent advice on your diamond certification. We will show you how to read, understand and decipher your diamond certificate.

Damage Assessment and Re-cut Analysis
Adelaide-based LE MAZ and the Diamond Certification Laboratory of Australia offers you a precise re-cut assessment service on broken or damaged diamonds, which extends to repolishing for salvage. Salvage is repair of the property taken over to lower its loss to the insurer. Often damaged diamonds can be re-cut or repolished so as to minimise loss.
Diamond Grading
The Diamond Certification Laboratory of Australia (DCLA) has a fully standardised grading process, ensuring that each and every diamond is thoroughly tested for authenticity and graded consistently and accurately according to International Diamond Council (IDC) rules.
The DCLA Diamond Grading Report provides all the information necessary to make an educated diamond purchase. This report guarantees the authenticity of diamonds, and rules out any possibility of a diamond being synthetic or an imitation.
The Diamond Grading Report also contains a complete description of your diamond including: a unique ID number, carat weight, colour grade, clarity grade, shape, measurements, proportions, proportion grade, transparency grade, polish grade, symmetry grade, fluorescence, hue and other remarks or characteristics which determine the quality of the diamond. All of these diamond quality characteristics determine the value of a diamond.
