How would an AGS grading report be able to list an inscription containing both a brand and their own grading report ID?
While perusing through many diamonds and certificates I see something similar to the following:
AGS 0001234567
"YourFavoriteBrandCut 0001234567" has been inscribed on the girdle of this diamond.
Does this mean that the organization is:
1. Cutting the stone
2. Certified as an AGS grading lab, and grading their own stones
3. Doing the inscribing, grading, and certificate creation themselves all at the same time?
It seems inherantly untrustworthy to both grade and sell stones. Doesn't AGS become immediately irrelevant if this is the case? I foolishly trust everyone until they prove otherwise, but how is this acceptable?
