Don't know how their cut grades compare though. Yes, HRD is a reputable lab which is better known in Europe than the USA. See this page for more info on the main grading labs. http://diamonds.pricescope.com/grading.asp Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn
