anyone else get a GIA stone from a mall store...?

[Person24]

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if anyone else has purchased a GIA certified stone from a mall store? Mine came with a GIA cert.

With all the bashing of mall stores on this board I sometimes start thinking that maybe there is something wrong with my ring that I haven''t noticed. I guess I was just wondering how many others out there feel like they got a good price and stone at a mall store?

(I checked what we paid against PS it was very comparable)

-I know some may say this is a pretty trivial worry in the grand scheme of things but hey....this is a forum full of gem lovers!

i believe it is possible to get a gia stone from the mall. i dont have one but i have seen stones with a gia cert at the mall stores. enjoy your ring. dont worry as long as you love it, then that is all that matters

If you love it, then it is a good stone. That''s how I feel, anyway.

And yes, some maul stores do come with a GIA cert. Very few do. As long as you had it appraised and it matches the cert, then I see no reason to worry about your stone.
