Price differences compared to similar GIA-GTL graded diamonds.
Figure 3. Price differences compared to similar GIA-GTL graded diamonds. Each positive or negative difference on the chart corresponds to higher or lower prices for similar diamonds listed for sale with respective reports.
 
 
 
Figure 4. 56% of the surveyed diamonds would cost less if sold with AGS rather than GIA reports, mainly as a result of stricter clarity grading 80% of the diamonds would cost less if bought with EGL rather than GIA reports. Discounting of EGL graded diamonds was greater than any premiums as a result of softer color grading.
