Hello:
I had a question about the GIA inscription process. The stone I originally bought didn''t have a laser inscription (GIA). Before I purchased it, the vendor sent it back to GIA (New York) and had it inscribed.
My question is this: When the GIA receives an uninscribed stone (which they have previously graded) for inscription, do they FIRST reappraise/reexamine the stone to make sure the one they''re inscribing matches their original report? Or do they just laser inscribe the stone?
I just want to make sure that the stone that was sent to the GIA was the same one that matches it''s GIA report. With thanks in advance.
