Certification #

[Bodybybob]

I''m about to buy a cushion cut diamond and the jeweler says it''s EGL certified. The certification # starts with the letter T and has 8 numbers following. Does this sound right.

Welcome to PS!

This could denote the branch of EGL which graded the diamond, as there is EGL USA, Antwerp, Israel, Europe, South Africa, sorry I can't think of one with a T unless the experts know this...

Here is an example of an EGL report.

Yes, Turkey.

I''m not familiar with their reliability. I''d definitely have the quality verified.
