Is someone trying to enter the vacuum left by our good old AGSL??

I say bring it on! The most disappointing aspect of the GIA/AGS merger is that you only get the rounded numbers by GIA. The light performance from AGS gives you more reassurance but I want to know the numbers!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I just bought an ACA from WF and would only consider AGS graded stones because of the numbers.

I am thinking they could run a Sarine for you although it would probably be at an additional cost.

Does WF still provide their own diamond scan reports for their ACAs?
[edit]
Not that I could find...Sarine exists for their remaining AGS ACAs, but there doesn't seem to be any for their GIA with AGS supplement ACAs.

Mine had a basic Sarine report on the diamond listing. I never asked for more details on the two ACAs I've purchased. I have always looked at the AGS report numbers to narrow my choices and consult with Brittany to make a final selection.

I was thinking that maybe they would do it upon request and for a fee. Could be wrong though. @Texas Leaguer - can you clarify this for us?

SAME! When we cut my ACA I asked WF for a Sarin so I would have all the info on the old AGS report. I’m not a fan of GIA rounding at all.

Deja, mine has one. For some reason it’s not on my stone’s page, but they sent it to me. I got both the regular Sarin and the advanced, and my stone has a GIA report. They’re in my massive SMTB thread if you want to see.

Sarine Completes Acquisition of Majority Stake in GCAL
The new corporation, GCAL USA LLC, will be part of the Sarine Group and its grading reports will read “GCAL by Sarine.”

...and what are your thoughts? Should we purchase Sarine stocks on the account of their success? Or perhaps see through their big noise and understand there might just be more than:
