Hello! I am shopping for a LGD stone and have been learning as much as possible about HPHT and CVD and their nuances.
I thought I had found 'The One' (a fancy shape 1.53ct F VVS2) and was so excited
However - the IGI certificate does not specify production method or any treatments done post production. There's no comments in the comment section at all! It's not over 2 carats so hard to use the 'general advice' that anything over 2cts is usually HPHT.
I emailed the vendor with some follow up questions e.g. production method, if there's any orange phosphorescence and they have no additional information to share (understandable since it's not listed on the certificate). They don't have the stone on-site at their location to inspect further.
What to do? Do I pass on it completely since there's no info, or take a chance on it and return if needed? The vendor is highly recommended here on Pricescope and I was a little surprised that they don't have the stone in hand at their location.
Please help this newbie to the LGD world out, thanks!!
