GIA Kicks Off Complimentary Next-Day Services Promotion
The limited-time deal is being offered to help jewelers through the busy holiday season.

Starting today, the laboratory is offering complimentary next-day services for up to 10 D-Z diamonds, both natural and lab-grown, submitted to the Carlsbad and New York City locations.
For clients shipping their stones, the complimentary service is available through Dec. 16.
For walk-in clients at those locations, the offer lasts until Dec. 20.
The offer is limited to one client, once per day.
To receive the free next day service, clients should write “Promo Code: HOLIDAY” on their memo and the outside of the shipping box.
The service will be applied automatically. Reports will be printed without requests for add-on or follow-up services to ensure the next day turnaround.
GIA’s popular promotion has been running each holiday season since 2016 in an effort to help jewelers during the busiest time of year, the institute said.
