Few questions about diamonds??

[caithybro]

Hi all!


I have a few questions about diamonds, and other gems as well, if they apply. I tried a few google searches but a lot of the responses conflicted with each other...maybe this forum can help me.

I am mostly concerned about diamond grading and the reports you can get. I know that there are several organizations/labs that issue grading reports, so I would like to know: Are there any major differences between them? I've seen people mention names like GIA, AGS, IGI (?), etc...is there one in particular that is more accurate or trusted than the others?

Mainly, there are 3 reliable Gemological Labs, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), American Gem Society (AGS), International Gemological Institute (IGI), European Gemological Laboratory (EGL):


The most trustworthy and accurate one is The Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

It is important you choose one of the major ones (listed above) because many times stores will issue certifications of no-name institutions that can actually make their diamonds appear to be better quality than a reputable certification would indicate.
