I purchased a great diamond D SI1 from an online jeweler. I had it set Friday and when I went to check it under thier scope before leaving the store the microscope was set on like 35X and there looked to be lots of flaws. More than on GIA certificate. My question is do they only grade at what they can see at 10x magnification? Thanks, Mary
 
Gia only grades using 10x magnification. With 35x, I believe you'll even see inclusions in IF/FL stones
