My apologies if this had already been asked and answered! Heading to the jeweler shortly and need advice!
'm trying to make a "fire", but not size upgrade for my current center stone. I had been looking for an AGS 000 or the like and I ran across a Solasfera that seems like a great price. It is the exact size I'm looking for to replace my current stone. It has an IGI cert, graded F SI1 Ex Ex Ex. I know all concerns about IGI vs AGS and GIA, but am wondering if, on a branded diamond, it is of the same concern. The Light Masters site purports all Solasferas to meet the absolute highest standards. If that's the case, wouldn't it be like buying brand name jeans at a warehouse club?
I would just go straight to GOG and get the GIA version, but I am looking to trade my current center.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
