So I''m wondering if Richard, Dave et al, those here who are professional appraisers, can answer this question...
How much wiggle room is there in each color grade? And does it make a vast difference when judging the color of a set stone if one uses a GIA master set of stones, or uses that technique where they hold it up to a white paper?
I ask because I''ve heard people say, "Oh it''s more like a high H" or "It''s really a low I", etc. and I''m wondering just how much room there actually is in grading a set stone.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
