Abbreviation Thread

[blackprophet]

I'm relatively new to Pricescope (about 2-3 months) and would like to stick around for a while.
There are a lot of abbreviations used around here and some I've been able to decipher, and some not. I figured we could start a thread (maybe sticky it!) for newbies so they can look them up? I appologize if this is contained somewhere else. If it is please point me to it.

(I work for the government so I know a lot about abbreviations!)

Vendors
LM: Leon Mege
DBL: Diamonds By Lauren
WF: Whiteflash
GOG: Good Old Gold
IDJ: ID Jewellers?????
BGD: Brian Gavin Diamonds

Partners
DH: Dear Husband????
FI: Fiancee???
SO: SIgnificant Other

Cuts
RB: Round Briliant
MRB: Modern Round Brilliant
OEC: Old Euro Cut????
OMC: Old Miners Cut???
AVR: ??????

Branding
ACA: A Cut Above

Feel free to add to the list. I put this in Rocky Talky because its the place most people come to first. Feel freen to move this thread to the appropriate area as well (just let me know first!)

Yes so many abbreviations! I can't believe I've learned so many Check the above thread for a fairly comprehensive list.

to fill in some of your blanks:

You are correct about IDJ, OEC, and OMC
DH can be darling or dear husband
FI = future intended (so in a word, fiance)
AVR = august vintage round (I'd put this under branding on your list, special old style cut of diamonds from GOG)
and AVC = august vintage cushion (as above)

to fill in some of your blanks:

As you can see I have no idea what an AVR was so I just asumed it was a cut lol. Seen it thrown around, but ever written out.

Thanks for the link!

I’m looking at a GIA ACA from WF with and AGS ASET that doesn’t look the H&A are as mind clean to me as the IS on the blue from BGD or the TH from JA. The video tutorial on GOG explains how the CA and PA give it a bad HCA but the GIA gave it xxx anyway. WTF! My MIL says her B&M is best because they have BS scans and that PS is BS because BN is virtual. Here’s my question… Did anyone understand that?

What this BS? Not brilliancescope. Not b*sh* because the because doesn't make sense.
