Its misleading to call it a discount. Diamonds are a big business. If this stone was good enough return a good gia report, they would have sent it to get it certed gia. They send the stone to the Lab that will gade it most favorably to return get the most money. A gia cert is worth more money, unless the cert comes back k-I2 good ct. A egl cert is worth less unless for the same stone it grads it h,si1 v good.... So someone who isnt familiar with this tactic perceives a diel because that score ia cheaper than gia stones of the same grade, but its an illusion. Just know, cutters arent atupid, they send their stones to get a cert that will return the most moneySchwartzM|1360159718|3373501 said:It's an EGL certificate, so the diamond should sell at a huge discount to a GIA stone with the same certificate. If it was truly GIA H you should not be able to notice any yellow in the stone whatsoever and I can see yellow in this picture. It is probably comparable to a GIA I-J color, SI-1 SI-2 clarity stone. You can check prices of those stones on the internet to compare. Ask the jeweler if they will get t GIA certified, or if they will show you GIA stones.
