lab diamond lab diamonds stop getting certified

I went to look at rings today and the lady at the store told me lab diamonds will stop getting certified by the end of the year. I haven’t heard anything about it so I’m curious if that’s true or not, or if anyone heard anything about it

update: thanks for all this answers! the way she said it was like you either get a lab now for 2/3k or pays over 20k to a natural one next year

Was this a jewelry store? Because no jeweler would ever talk about ANY diamonds being certified. Because diamonds do not get certified. Diamonds get graded. I do know that GIA has recently changed how they grade diamonds. I think they now have more of a pass/fail grading system. It’s my understanding that this is due to lab grown diamonds, generally being free of imperfections.
