I will agree with ya on that different names for the GIA ratings. However, BN for example (ideal) is always GIA excellent cut.
Jamesallen however shows GIA as the report, yet their names Ideal and ideal don't match. if you click on BN cut it tells you that BN uses ideal in place of excellent. On JamesAllen it just talks about the GIA scale. So what I meant by lying I would relabel as completely trying to mislead untrained others.

BN lists it as Ideal. In order for a diamond to receive Ideal from AGS, it must score Ideal in proportions, polish and symmetry, while this diamond only gets Good in Polish & Symmetry both, plus the girdle being very thick--in other words AGS would rate it no higher than Good for cut, as would GIA. I'm not trying to bash anyone, I'm just saying that all vendors do this because of the sheer volume of information that requires entry into their systems.
