The forum search feature did not yield any results when I searched for GIS (which is not a good sign lol), but I am also new to this forum's layout so perhaps I am using it incorrectly.
Is G.I.S. (Gemological Institute Services) certification worth anything more than the paper its printed on? The website leaves alot to be desired and resembles something I could whip up in under 20 minutes.
Cliff Notes:
-Was looking at a clarity enhanced ring from a private local seller.
----1.45ct main stone 1.87tcwt D/VS2 asking $3700
-Only certification was G.I.S. (likely due to being clarity enhanced)
-Not looking to purchase for resale or investment
Questions:
MAIN: Is G.I.S. (Gemological Institute Services) certification worth anything more than the paper its printed on?
1. Will a local appraisal be able to give me any insight on potential value of Clarity Enhanced? (want to have it checked out before any potential purchase)
2. Other than personal feeling about Clarity enhancement, or future resale concerns (which hopefully I will not need to deal with haha) are their any long term concerns with clarity enhancement (apart from heat and acid concerns)
3. Does the price seem reasonable given the information provided?
