Hi all!
I have a few questions about diamonds, and other gems as well, if they apply. I tried a few google searches but a lot of the responses conflicted with each other...maybe this forum can help me.
I am mostly concerned about diamond grading and the reports you can get. I know that there are several organizations/labs that issue grading reports, so I would like to know: Are there any major differences between them? I've seen people mention names like GIA, AGS, IGI (?), etc...is there one in particular that is more accurate or trusted than the others?
And my second question: Why is it so important to get a report with a diamond? All of the information about the diamond is in the report as far as I know. Is there anything else that it can be used for?
