I posted last weeks about my new studs. I just received the certificates and they are EGL. I am very dissapointed as the jeweler never told me this and all my other jewelry is GIA certified.

From the dimensions it appears they would be VG under GIA standards. Is EGL as strict? I am tempted to return them and ask for new GIA certified stones.

Any advice? Obsessing here.....

You should ask for what you think is right for you...
GIA is stricter!!! but EGL should be more attractive in price....

And it is still based on opinion only.

Stricter doesnt make it better or more right.
