AGS Si1 compared to a GIA Si1

[buyer2011]

Is a AGS Si1 actually graded different then a GIA Si1. I have not analized many AGS. I am looking at a AGS Si1 and it looks super clean. To me it would be a GIA VS2 or better? any thoughts

Both are equivalent. Do not judge a clarity grade on the inclusion alone.

I have an AGS SI1 and was told by Infinity that GIA would have given it a VS2. They were very disappointed in the grade of SI1 (to my advantage). It is very clean. I cannot even find the inclusion.

are you looking at it in person or online? sometimes the plots online are scanned in a low-resolution format. the only way to check whether or not it is eye-clean is to see in person or ask a trusted vendor...you cannot tell from the inclusion plot diagram

also what do you think about girdles from AGS to GIA. this is an AGS thin to med- or SARIN 1.4-3.4

WF looks good, nothing to worry about the girdles.

Eternity stone looks promising from the numbers.
