New Regulations for Travel with Diamonds

On BB Clark’s trip to Antwerp, she found out something interesting at the security check.  

BB Clark chatted with security and crossed the border with documentary proof of her ownership of her gemstones.

The regulation for traveling to Europe with loose diamonds changed in March 2024 and the grace period ends August 31, 2024.

Because the European government needs better documentation of loose gemstones, the Trefuly Diamond Provenance Report is an excellent addition to your travel documents.  Each report includes the owner’s name and the gemstone’s purchase origin.  

The European documentation you need to read is :

RESTRICTIONS ON DIAMONDS RELATED ARTICLE: ARTICLE 3p OF COUNCIL REGULATION NO. 833/2014 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – AS OF 1 MARCH 2024 

Remember to check the rules regarding loose diamonds before leaving for your trip.

Quality Analysis Report – Alternative name for a Diamond Certificate from the 1980s

Quality Analysis Report

Trefuly is reviewing older versions of Diamond Courses to see if information in the market has changed dramatically. One change is the name of reports. In the 1980s the certificates were named Quality Analysis Reports by GIA (the course I’m reviewing).

The goal of GIA in the 1980s was to standardise the language used for reporting. How many of their reports still use this language from the 80s?

Are European reporting businesses more like the Académie Française wanting to stay as true to the original as possible? What terms do diamond investors want to use and what terms do diamond sellers feel more comfortable using?

For TrefuGems, we create diamond provenance reports. Our background in law and art history allows Trefuly to look at each individual gem as an art piece created by nature, a diamond cutter, and the life the gem lived until it arrived in our office.

New Provenance Diamond Grading Report

We created a new provenance diamond grading report to add two more pieces of information and now our provenance grading report is a mixed European/American report containing some of the same information offered in the American styled reports.

Because of the change, our reports are two pages long with photograph and drawings on one page and diamond data on the second page.  

We will continue to offer our regular report that is more European.  Both reports will continue to have the corporate embossed seal and director signature while any PDF versions will contain the corporate logo and a signature.
