How come the price difference is so much?  shocking.gif Typo error??

Did you check the HCA score for it? Or you can share the GIA certificate no.

Ops typo. It's Rm10338. Tomei is most expensive I think.

Recently I've been to a few other jewelries like SK, Bliz and Love & co. Most of them carry IGI cerf but just not many GIA only. They told me that IGI is much better than GIA and it only provides to those ideal cut diamond which is better than GIA 3ex. Love and Co is more expensive than SK so far. It's so confusing right now.

That's not true... The top 2 certificate is GIA and AGS. Certificates likes IGI and EGL are known to have looser standards. By right, if you compare an IGI and GIA diamond of the same grades, the IGI will always be cheaper because of the lower standard. Stick with GIA or AGS safer. It really depends on the quality of the diamond you're looking at.. And you better check if the diamond is really an "Ideal Cut" as what they claim. Most of them just anyhow say.

You can start by using the HCA tool to check the diamond score http://www.pricescope.com/tools/hca
From there, you will roughly know if the diamond proportions are good. Then you will need the ASET scope to check the light performance  thumbup.gif

Yeah. I have been using HCA tool to check the diamond and found out many of them don't even know about it. Most of the diamond I found scores at 1.3-1.6 by using the IGI cerf info . I'll be going to KL to survey more since most jb jewellers carry IGI cerf. ASET scope is that the one they provide in the store? Besides, I want to find out actually how expensive tiffany & co and cartier are. biggrin.gif
