"Certified" is printed on a lot of windows in Dubai. It means something only when the certificate can be checked. This guide explains what a real certificate contains, how to verify it, and what else to insist on before you pay, in the shop or on a screen.

## What the certificate must say

- The seller's legal name and address.
- Each piece described: type, karat, weight in grams to two decimals.
- The rate of the day the piece was priced on.
- The date, the invoice number and a way to verify it.

A Mazimo invoice is the certificate: all of the above is on it, and the tracking code printed under the title opens the same record at [mazimo.ae/track](https://mazimo.ae/track) for you, a buyer or an insurer, years later.

## Four protections to insist on

1. **Weighed and tested in front of you.** Or, online, weight and karat stated on the product page and on the invoice. Our [verification guide](https://mazimo.ae/journal/how-to-verify-gold-purity-in-uae-before-you-buy-jewellery) covers the tests.
2. **Priced on the live rate.** Not a rate from last week. The [Mazimo rate page](https://mazimo.ae/gold-rates) is what our prices are built on.
3. **An exchange window.** Unworn pieces in their packaging can be exchanged within 48 hours of delivery; bespoke and resized pieces are final.
4. **A door.** A physical boutique you can walk into if something is wrong. Ours is Al Manal Center, Deira, open daily.

## Buying online, specifically

Look for the weight on every product page. Look for a delivery promise with insurance. Look for the certificate policy before you order, not after. And pay by card, which gives you a second layer of protection. Mazimo delivers across the UAE in one to two working days, insured, in a plain parcel.

## White gold and stones

For white gold rings, the certificate should also state the karat (18K) and, for a real diamond, a separate grading report; a zircon solitaire should be described as one. Ask which it is. Our [white gold solitaires](https://mazimo.ae/shop/white-gold-rings) say so on the page.

## Keeping the proof

Photograph the invoice, save the tracking code in your phone, and register on the site so certificates sit in your account. Insurance claims, resale and buy-back all start with that record.

**At Mazimo.** Every piece is weighed in front of you at Al Manal Center, Deira, priced on the [live gold rate](https://mazimo.ae/gold-rates) of the day, and leaves with a certificate of purity and a tracking code you can check any time at [mazimo.ae/track](https://mazimo.ae/track). Delivery across the UAE is insured and complimentary; unworn pieces can be exchanged within 48 hours of delivery.
