Great article. It helped me with understanding all the stuff the diamond sellers have been telling me. The author seems to know her stuff.

How can you tell whether the GIA report shown by the dealer is in fact for the same diamond and not for another diamond? ie when the dealer shows you a diamond, how can you tell if the GIA report is of a more expensive diamond and the dealer then charges you more money for a less expensive diamond

The best way is to have a sense of trust regarding your dealer. See if they have a track record of happy customers, if they are an internet dealer, search for reviews or search diamond forums. Choosing your dealer is actually the first thing you should do. A good dealer can then get you the diamond or diamond ring you want. To see if you can tell if the report and diamond match is to lview i the diamond with magnification in a store. If feathers indicated on the report are in the diamond around the same place, that's one way to tell. They can also point out other identifying features such as a thick girdle. Another is to have it appraised and then take the GIA report with you. And yet another is to buy a laser inscribed diamond that has the GIA report number on the diamond. But I've learned to simply find a dealer I can trust and go from there.

See if GIA has engraved in the ring what the grading is. They can do this during grading for extra fee.
