Yes, GIA is very strict/stringent with their grading. But I've also heard of employees who were "bought off" for grading (& subsequently fired). But I'm concerned about my report.
I have mentioned here before how it's graded E VS2 & how a very reputable jeweler as well as the recent GIA appraiser both felt that my stone was really a D SI1. I still haven't had an answer as to which is more valuable (E VS2 or D SI1). The only flaw I see (without a loupe), is noticeable through the underside, but I owuld think with a VS2, you shouldn't see ANY flaws at all (even though they're graded from above?).
I'm considering sending it back to GIA for new grading. Am I nuts?
