The grade of "SI3" is one of the search items on pricescope and some reputable internet vendors post some of the grading as SI3 (even the inspiring GOG). I''ve heard that SI3 is strictly a euphamism for I1. Vendors will try to make a poorer quality stone seem better by calling it SI3 even though it is really I1. GIA does not seem to have a SI3 class.
Am I mistaken or why continue the SI3 charade in reputable shops? This shady grading could cloud a vendor''s reputation.
