any thoughts on why this is so "cheap"? the price is 96,000

Hard to tell... the listing doesn't indicate which lab certified the diamond. Assuming it's a GIA or AGS-certified stone, then the ring is indeed selling for a bit of a discount, when compared to the diamonds that show up in the diamond search. Maybe the seller would rather have $96,000 in hand than an arguably more valuable ring in stock?

Diamond are similar to gold with the market being very price competitive, the same as gold. If it's too good to be true, then it's probably too good to be true.

Best guess? EGL or In house grading.

Grading accuracy is the issue, and we have no clue. That seems like quite a bit of money to be betting on the word of an unknown stranger.

BTW, there's something on the girdle at about the 1:00 position. Chip maybe? It's important.

I was told I would get sent the GIa but never received it .....
