I see no reason not to use EGL for this sort of grading. They do all the correct testing for natural origin, so I don't see a big benefit to waiting weeks for GIA to do a very similar job. David S.

I am not aware that other EGL labs outside USA and Canada have Ramon laser equipment and Spectrographs and Infra Red analysis equipment that is needed these days to sort out treatments and synthetics.

If its from a known vendor, then I would not worry about not receiving an authentic stone. The only vendor I know is DBL that carries a lot of yellow stones. David is reputable and I would not worry about the authenticity from him. Can't wait to see the photos of your new stone!

dameisers Rough Rock Total Posts: 48 Last Post: 12/16/2005 Member Since: 8/29/2004	Hi Christine, Dave made a custom five stone ring for me back in November. It has three SI1/FLY diamonds, and two VS1/D white diamonds, all princess cut. It is a common prong setting in platinum (.93). My experience with DBL and Dave was AWESOME! My only complaint is that I want a bigger ring! My next purchase will certainly be a BIGGER diamond and will be a FY.
