Is it better to ask a jeweler to send a diamond to GIA for you, or send it yourself?

Do any Jewelers offer this as a service, or should I just send it in myself?

All the vendors I've worked with have been happy to send stones to labs for me (they pass the costs of certification and shipping onto me). It's kind of a pain to set your account up to send stuff in yourself, not worth it unless you do it regularly IMO.

Awesome, thank you so much! I'll check in with the Jewelers that worked with.
