Just had a question in regards to diamond grading where the grading lies on the fringe. For example.
Colors F and G (Colorless to Near Colorless)
Clarity SI2 to I1 (slightly included to included)
I don''t know exactly how to put this, but is there any reason a certifier will bump up the grade just to make the next step. I have always been a little paranoid about this. And the stone I purchased just validated my paranoia.
For example, I just purchased a stone, that was really good except for the clarity, which was SI2.
The stone only had a mini-cert. I really wanted to get a more detailed report so we had it sent to gia. The dealer said I could''t get a gia report unless i bought it first. So I did and it came back as an I1.
A second question is who makes the mini-cert, is it the cutter? If so my scenario would kind of make sense.
On clarity is there a science to how to grade clarity, of all the c''s.This seems to be the most subjective.
So many questions my head is starting to hurt. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
