I understand what you are saying in general, as we have been burned by buying an EGL Europe F diamond, recutting it to H&A proportions, and then sending it to EGL US where they promptly graded it H color....apparently EGL Europe is notorious for lax standards but we didn't know that years ago.

However....while that may be true in some cases, making a blanket statement is not the right thing to do.

And, posting false information with the claim that you are 'merely repeating what you heard' is still posting defamatory comments.

And in this case it would be 'libel per se' b/c it impunes someones ability in their profession, meaning an easier case with more damages.

The US (and likely UK) legal system doesn't care if you are 'repeating what you heard', false statements that you publish are your responsibility.

Would it not be more productive to leave out the defensiveness and sarcasm in favor of facts. Fact is the lab has GIA gemologists and therefore would grade similar to GIA.

Specifically for NAGL - if NAGL has 2 former GIA graders as their only graders, meaning the same graders you would get if you sent it to the GIA just a couple years ago, how could there be a difference between GIA and NAGL?

The graders lost their ability to grade once they left GIA? The logic isn't there.

So that explains why some moissy's are moodier than others. Interesting. FWIW, my 7.5 doesn't show any yellow. beige or green at all. Yesterday I ran outside just before it started to rain to see what it looked like in overcast lighting and it still looked great. I can't GET it to show yellow or green. I tried taking pictures but they didn't turn out well at all. I might try another camera.


I can't believe how much you are going through to get good looking moissy's to start with. With no 'new' stock coming from C&C are you concerned that you will be getting back the same unacceptable stones to reject over and over again? Where are the rejects going? If the best stones are being culled for Mira the chances of getting a bad moissy is increasing UNLESS you get a Mira, no?

My post is gone. I basically said that defensiveness and sarcasm isn't necessary and can cost you customers. Wouldn't it be better just to restate the facts? Fact is this lab has GIA graduates therefore the stones should be graded similarly.

Sorry,..whats FWIW??????????
