Le Vian jewelry Shop pieces certified by the brand

When it comes to Le Vian jewelry, being “certified” can have two different meanings:

1. Gemstone Certification:

• Most Le Vian pieces feature genuine gemstones, and many come with certificates from independent gemological laboratories like the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the International Gemological Institute (IGI). These certificates verify the type, cut, weight, and sometimes the color and clarity of the gemstones.
• Le Vian also has its own “Le Vian Guarantee of Authenticity” that assures customers of the genuineness of their gemstones and precious metals.
• Not all Le Vian pieces come with individual gem certificates, especially smaller stones or lower-priced items. However, Le Vian’s overall reputation for using genuine gemstones is generally good.

2. Le Vian’s “Certificate of Authenticity”:

• This document is specific to Le Vian and verifies the item’s authenticity as a genuine Le Vian piece. It provides details like the item’s style number, metal type, gemstone types, and sometimes the specific collection it belongs to.
• This certificate doesn’t necessarily provide information about the individual gemstones’ quality or value.
• All Le Vian pieces, regardless of price or size, should come with this “Certificate of Authenticity.”

Here are some things to keep in mind when it comes to Le Vian jewelry and certifications:

• Always ask for certificates for any gemstone you consider buying, especially for larger or more expensive pieces.
• Understand the limitations of different certificates. Gemstone certificates focus on the stones themselves, while Le Vian’s certificate confirms the piece’s authenticity as a Le Vian design.
• Research Le Vian’s reputation and consider independent reviews before making a purchase.
• You can also register your Le Vian piece on their website for free lifetime repairs and cleaning.
