Oh boy. I was good now your stressing me out. The date is August 2018, why does that matter? I am buying the diamond in NYC. An appraiser wouldn’t have been a bad idea I suppose. How much does that cost and can I get it done today type thing?

GIA’s grading of larger SI2s was more stringent several years ago.

Yes, an appraisal can absolutely be a “one day” thing. Expect to pay a few hundred.
