I ran across a lovely pink diamond in an NYC store this summer (not a PS vendor, some unknown dealer) and was amazed at the price. It was a 1 carat pear, in a fancy pink color, for only $3000. The certificate, which I didn't see, was said to be from EGL. I was told it was natural pink color, and not clarity enhanced. But my radar went off, and I walked away from the stone.
Since then, I've come across quite a few pink diamonds, which seem to be very well priced, with EGL rather than GIA certificates. Here's one from a vendor I don't know

What gives? Are they missing indications of artificial color enhancement? How are pink diamonds enhanced? Why not get a GIA report? I couldn't verify the report for this ring on the EGL website (maybe my browser?) so not sure what it might say.
Any ideas?
