I hope it's ok if I chime in....
I also see a lot of EGL graded stones.
As far as which EGL is better- I'm hesitant to try and "order" the labs- simply because for me, I think it's really a black and white question for consumers.
No GIA, means you need to trust the dealer's experience and word. Period.
In my experience, EVERY time a dealer walks in with a stone graded by EGL there's a very good reason for it. Badly cut, misgraded, or many other reasons why they seller wants to hide whatever GIA might say.
If they claim the stone is graded to GIA standards, no one- and I mean NO educated dealer - is going to pay as if it were graded by GIA in any of the more costly grades.
If it's an M/I1, who cares.
But in higher colors particulary, there's always a reason someone skipped ( or threw away) a GIA report.
Great example Jan! There's no way that's an SI1
IMO...that's an I2 stone if graded by GIA.DiamondBrokersofFlorida|1340900674|3225166 said:Here is a 1.01ct. graded SI1 F by EGL USA.
