-Diascript of "EGL Report number" appears on the girdle.
- 8 HEARTS & 8 ARROWS - This Diamond was polished
utilizing superior precision & craftsmanship, its
exquisite proportions generate the appearance of
8 Hearts & 8 Arrows, when viewed at the correct
angle & under the proper lighting conditions.
- "EXCELLENT IDEAL CUT"

Do you think I can get a better price on the 15K diamond? I realize that both these diamonds if graded by GIA could be an H/I color and maybe SI1. Both have minor inclusions shown on the cert. nothing crazy. Any input will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
 
Do not trust an EGL Certificate. Only GIA or AGS have a solid accurate diamond grading system.
 
Can you get idealscope images for them?

"H&A" is a loose term - some vendors are more particular about what passes as a true H&A. Who is calling it H&A? And H&A doesn't guarantee ideal light performance...

As long as you know they may be graded lower in color and clarity by AGS/GIA...
