    Seems like a big deal over nothing. The big 3 are the big 3 for a reason. Except for a few rare gemstones, like Paraiba Tourmaline, and Alexandrite, they generally carry the most value per carat. One of the dealers i buy from has a variety of categories that you can search through, including precious gemstones and semiprecious gemstones. The only real reason I can see to remove semi-precious as an identifier, is to allow jewelry retailers to jack up their profit margins on popular semiprecious stones.

    I definitely appreciate the humility of "Average" despite the GIA lanyard. The intensity of training and classes from the GIA is definitely nothing to sneeze at. As for Garnets, there's department store Garnets and there are those with exceptional cut, polish, color, tone, hue and saturation that are alive. Some will shift in color and some change color. Shift and change are not the same thing.....I'll step off stage now. LOL.

    I need some guidance and I am hoping you have I sight. My diamond fell out and the jeweler had to replace the prongs. After receiving my ring back, I realized it was so sharp and catching on clothes and even scratching my husband. I checked by looking and using my fingernail and tge diamond seemed tight and secure. After 4 weeks, I discovered my diamond had fallen out and I can't find it. The ring and diamond did not come from where I was having the work done(mall jewelry chain). They had me drop it off days ago to have a close look at it. My question is, I have no insurance on it, and didn't buy it from this chain. Am I covered at all by the workmanship they did? It was only 5 weeks from picking up the ring and loosing the stone. Any imput would be appreciated. Thank you.
