    I absolutely agree.  I wanted to clarify that in my previous post on
    this topic when I referred to the center stone having already been
    graded, I was thinking of the way we used to work in the lab.  Some
    regular clients could have a stone they were showing to a client
    graded loose, then, after it was sold and mounted, they would bring
    back the ring and we would have the info. from our earlier grading. 

    I was shocked when a home appraiser didn't measure my house, and
    simply re-used the previous guy's measurements.  (No, it wasn't the
    same guy, not even the same company.)
