- 93%

Another super important issue.....grading.
A large percentage of Lab Grown Diamonds on the market are graded by IGI.
They are much softer than GIA on average. So we'd need to take that 93%back E/VS1 IGI graded diamond, and fairly grade it- likely G SI1...now, all of a sudden it's only 85% back.
Although it sounds like an 8% difference, 93 back, to 85 back is approximately a 50% difference in price!

Consistantly 1-2 grades in color and 1/2 a grade in clarity David - be reasonable.

No where near as bad as the Nun joke just sent you David!

2 grades from E is G. I said SI1 - you’re right, that was probably too harsh but even still…..it doesn’t change my point about why 93 back ain’t 93 back
I’m going to rush to my email for the nun joke!

I was legit worried that the facets or the play of light or something looked like some kind of anatomy. So i started squinting my eyes trying to imagine what you were seeing and now I changed my avatar. Don’t ask.
