Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about GSI. Is it a reputable lab? How stringent and consistent are they with their grading? Would you say that GSI is comparable to EGL?? Thanks!!
I went into a national chain jewelry store once to look for an e-ring.
Salesperson (SP): "The ones in this cabinet are certified."
Me: "Certified by whom? GIA?"
SP: "Who are they? We actually have three people grade the diamond."
Me: "Who are they?"
SP: "There are three labs that do the testing and they come together to agree on the grading."
I look at certification card she puts on the counter and read "GSI" and "Dallas, Toronto, Mumbai."
I drift off and begin to wonder if they get together in the geographical middle and where that might be.
SP: "So, this is a 1 carat right here."
I confirm that that is what was written on the card. It also said I1 for clarity. I was a little impressed that it didn't say SI1 instead.
