The price differential of diamonds, in general, between stones graded at EGL, GAI and AGS paints a very accurate picture of how the diamond trade understands how each lab grades. EGL is generally the more liberal, GIA in between and AGS slightly more strict.
The better the diamond deal sounds, the more likely there is some liberal grading involved. This is a generalization, but there is some truth to it, too.----------------
