Hello,
The diamond I am considering does not have a GIA cert. The jeweler has offered to send it to GIA to get one before I purchase. My questions:
1. If I do this, is it advisable to have an independent appraiser look at it in addition to the GIA review? Why or why not?
2. If GIA rates the diamond better than it is currently rated from the company (which seems unlikely, but is possible from what I know of this stone), am I at risk to lose the price I have been quoted?
Thanks in advance. This forum has been extremely helpful (via search and my posts)!
