The Canadian Government of the Northwest Territories Diamond Certification Program is the only one of its kind. Never before has a government certification program been implemented to monitor the provenance and quality of indigineous diamonds.

Be sure that your diamond certificate is stamped with the official GNWT polar bear seal. Beware of imitations. Only the Canadian Government Certificate bears the seal, shown on the lower right corner of the certificate.

Tundra Diamonds are carefully tracked to assure provenance and inspected to meet the highest standards of cut and polish. When the finished gem has successfully completed an exhaustive battery of quality assurance tests, it is Gemprinted and the registration number is laser inscribed onto its girdle.

Finally, before the diamond is allowed to leave Canada, it is thoroughly documented in an NWTG diamond database, and is confidentially registered in the international Gemprint database. Tundra Diamonds are then sent to the AGS or GIA to receive a complete grading report.

Government and industry leaders believe these newly discovered sources of diamonds from the Arctic Tundra will make the Northwest Territories the third largest world producer of diamonds in the next few years. They have wisely decided to proactively manage qualilty and environmental aspects of production to maintain very high standards now and into the future.
