Who is DCLA?

The Diamond Certification Laboratory of Australia (DCLA) is an independent diamond grading laboratory, internationally affiliated and recognized.

The DCLA is one of only five laboratories worldwide recognised as an International Diamond Council (IDC) laboratory, as set up by the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) and the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA), and grading by the DCLA is thus in accordance with IDC rules.

In addition, the DCLA is the official CIBJO laboratory for Australia.

The DCLA is recognised by the world’s highest authorities in diamonds and jewellery as a leading body in the industry, striving to protect ethics and integrity within the trade, and maintain and build consumer confidence.

The DCLA Diamond Grading Certificate sets the standard for technical ability. The laboratory is equipped with the most advanced equipment in Australia, and is constantly updating equipment to keep abreast of the developments in treatments and detection methods; all diamonds graded are checked to ensure they have not been treated and are of natural origin. Therefore, the DCLA Certificate assures the owner that the diamond is free of all known treatments and enhancements. It also confirms the diamond is natural and not a synthetic diamond. Grading in accordance with IDC rules gives you the confidence that the information on your certificate is accurate and unbiased.
