EGL Israel certs are known to be overstated, so I wouldn''t trust those at all. As far as the GIA stone is concerned, it is not ideal cut. I can''t believe the cert says excellent cut with a 62% table. The crown angle is really low. You can probably trust the color and clarity on that one. But you can do so much better.

Why is that...??

I''m not sure about the EGL ones but the specs on the GIA one doesn''t look so great. You can do much better.

carats, I agree--I''d start looking elsewhere too. And I personally wouldn''t consider an EGL Israel stone because of their "loose" grading. I think you''ll be much happier with a GIA or AGS stone.
