Hello iam an online vendor and i would like to have your opinion concerning the following case..couple months ago i had listed on my ebay account 1.09natural unheated untreated medium blue sapphire certified by GIA the think is that i was constantly accepting offers arround 400usd both by us uk and Europe residents..my question is do you believe that if that sapphire was certified by IGI the intrest of buyers would be less or the same..
Thank you in advance for your help

Go for the AGL brief for a smaller or less expensive sapphire. It is much cheaper than a GIA report and it is a highly regarded coloured stone lab in the USA. However, those in Europe are more familiar with GIA.

It depends on your customer base/market. Those in the know how will want a good lab, not IGI.

Best to contact them directly. Sometimes it is very quick, sometimes it is delayed. As Trade, I think you get a discount too.
