Hello All,
I think I''m almost done with my diamond search. I found the stone at a local B&M. I''ve seen it through an H&A viewer and a loupe, but the dealer has no other images. I''m from Georgia and used the PS appraiser search to locate reputable appraisers (interestingly enough...I''ve used one of them in the past). I would really like ASET/IdealScope and other images of the stone. I''ve contacted the appraisers and, although they have various viewers and scopes, neither of them offers any imaging in their appraisal reports.
Anyone have any advice on getting that sort of imaging or am I going to have to buy an IdealScope and ASET scope? Also, I plan on getting the diamond appraised before having it set. Is that the best idea or does it not matter so much?
TIA for all the helpful posts.
