Final post for awhile, promise! Compare these..

Ok im looking at gog and noticed a diamond that has a lesser rating but I can't see as many inclusions???
This one:
http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/1976/

looks better and has a better light rating than this one:
http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/629/

They both say : Ideal light performance by AGL
But one is AGL ranked, the other is GIA ranked.

ALSO - the polish and sym on the more expensive (last diamond) is Excellent and very good.
Whereas the cheaper one is IDEAL/IDEAL.

Please explain these to me, might answer the million other questions I have. I'm more confused the more I read. Seeming like a crap shoot now anymore.

Oh and why do some of them have all these reports attached to them, and others don't. IE: Megascope, Ideal-Scope etc? Are these seperate to AGL GIA etc and how important are they, or - are they just buying aids?
SOoooooooo confused..

DiamXray and Gem advisor files and helium reports and inclusion photos are what I find most useful.
The b-scope is controversial but interesting.
The megascope and sarin report report is pretty useless when you have a helium report.
