I know that anything that''s not GIA or AGS is looked down upon around here, I just have to say that not all stones that are graded by other laboratories are bad. I have a beautiful D color SI1 stone that is EGL US graded, and it IS in fact a D color and SI1. I have taken it to two different (high end and very well respected) jewelers in my area, and have seen it compared to the GG''s master set. I realize that buyers need to be aware that there may be a difference in color and clarity depending on the lab, but I am really getting tired of people being negative and steering people away from stones simply because of the fact that they''re not GIA. (What, does everybody around here work for GIA or something?) You can still get a good stone from other labs. Sorry, just needed to get that off my chest. Hope I didn''t offend anybody
