Fill in stone details from a GIA or IGI report number

Every certified stone comes with a grading report, and every report has to be typed into your inventory by hand. That's about 20 to 25 fields per stone: shape, carat, color, clarity, cut, measurements, angles, girdle, culet and more. Then you download the PDF and upload it too. Elefta now does that from the report number.

How it works

Add a stone in Inventory, choose the lab (GIA or IGI), and type the certificate number. Click the icon at the end of the Certificate row. Elefta reads the lab's report and fills in the stone's details for you. Nothing is saved until you look it over and press Save.

What gets filled in

Grading. Shape, cut style, carat weight, color, clarity, cut, polish, symmetry and fluorescence.

Measurements. Measurements, depth and table percentages, crown and pavilion angles, girdle and culet.

Report details. Lab, certificate date, laser inscription, clarity characteristics and the lab's comments.

Color and origin. Fancy color, natural or lab-grown origin, and growth method (CVD or HPHT).

The certificate itself. The report PDF is attached to the stone. For GIA stones, the plotting and proportions diagrams are added after your own photos.

Your entries stay yours

If you already typed a value that the report disagrees with, Elefta shows both and asks whether to keep yours or replace it. If the report lists something that isn't in your own option lists, such as a gem type you removed, Elefta leaves that field empty and tells you, rather than guessing.

Lab-grown stones and IGI

IGI grades a large share of lab-grown diamonds. You can type an IGI number with or without its "LG" prefix. Elefta marks the stone as lab-grown and picks up the growth method from the report.

Checking a report later

Once a stone is saved, the icon on the Certificate row becomes a magnifier. Clicking it opens the report on GIA's or IGI's own site, so you or a buyer can confirm it in one click. You can also open the certificate PDF right on the stone's page to download, print or email it. EGL has no lookup service, so for EGL stones Elefta opens EGL's report search with your number already filled in.

Certificate lookup is part of how Elefta handles inventory of every product type, not just watches.
