In the other thread "robbe" asked why no one has been raising a fuss about it.
In a very untypical strm fashion iv been talking to people before ranting :}
My first comment on it is that GIA needs to come clean on it and tell us what was involved and what happened.
I hope Garry is right and its limited to very few diamonds.
In the mean time I see no need to panic if you bought your diamond from a stocking dealer or had it called into a dealer who checks the color of the stone against the report grade and is trustworthy enough to be upfront about it or if you had an independent appraiser check it out.
I checked with the vendors that I recommend and also researched what they have had to say about the check in process for diamonds coming into stock in the past.
From the ones I contacted.
Brian @ www.whiteflash.com checks theres no worries there.
Jon @ www.goodoldgold.com checks his no worries there.
Wink @ www.winkjones.com checks his no worries there.
Gary @ www.diamondexpert.com checks his no worries there.
In all 4 cases from what they say and what I could find on the net its not a new thing and they check them regardless of which cert it is.
Todd @ www.niceice.com while i didn''t contact him. I know from past conversations that they check there also.
So overall my opinion at this point is wait and see on the overall picture out of GIA.
In the mean time if you bought from one of those vendors or had an independent appraiser check the diamond you should be aok.
Any other vendors feel free to post your policy and if any of the vendors want to tell more on how they handle diamonds coming in feel free.
