It does matter what lab issued the grading report (cert). Diamonds graded by GIA or AGS would cost more 'cause these labs are more strict and you can be more certain in what you are getting. If the diamond graded by another lab, you might want to check the grading with independent gemologist/appraiser. If the diamond is as represented, the price sounds ok. This diamond has a bit deep pavilion - 44% correspond to 41.35 degree.
