Hi all, quick question. I'm looking at a 2ct sapphire that has been certified as a pad on its AGL gem brief. The seller represents it as being of Sri Lankan origin. I'm considering getting the more comprehensive AGL origin or GIA origin report - is there any difference between the two? I know AGL is very well regarded but most CS over here tend to be GIA or GRS certed, not AGL.
Also, if the gem is from a reputable vendor and is heated, do you think it's worth to get the additional report or is the AGL gem brief sufficient (ie is origin really only that important for unheated pads?)
I've seen prices all over the place for heated vs unheated pads so it's a bit confusing..
Thanks in advance for any advice/input!!
