Independent Diamond Appraisers

 

At Diamondexchange/IceStore, we recommend that you take any diamond you purchase to an independent appraiser during the time period the vendor allows for returns. The best appraiser is an independent appraiser i.e., one who does not sell diamonds and is not paid by a seller.

The independent appraisers will make sure that the diamond matches the independent grading lab's grading report, check for structural problems with the stone, determine if the price was appropriate for the market in which it was bought, evaluate the diamond's beauty based on expertise and the use of special equipment, etc. Click here for more on the role of a professional appraiser.

David Atlas, GG, NGJA, ASG
Accredited Gem Appraisers
Phila, PA
Mr. Atlas and his lab is known for its diamond cut grading system. The AGA 1A cut grade for round diamonds is even narrower than that allowed by AGS for its "0" cut grade, and the Accredited Gem Laboratory is, at this time, the only lab with a cut grading system for fancy shaped diamonds. Thus, the AGA cut grading charts are used as a reference tool for fancy shaped diamond proportions by much of the industry.
