When purchasing the diamond, I was given a photo copy of the GIA report. This was because the jewler (who was my friend''s father) was selling the diamond from one of his suppliers (or another jelwer). I didn''t have any reason not to trust him so I agreed to keep the copy until the original copy was obtained in a couple days. When I got the orignal copy I noticed a discrepancy from my photo copy and the original. The barcode on the report was different. Everything else matched (except laser incription which the diamond doesn''t have) including the report number, shape & cutting style, measurements, etc. Even the diagram of the diamond and it''s inclusions are the same.
With that said, can you tell me what the significance of the barcode on the report is? I couldn''t find an explanation of this anywhere. Also, should I be cincerned of any foul play here with the discrepancy of the barcode? I mean if it''s a photo copy, why is it different.
Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
