[Jewelry making - Article 00289] - Re: [Orchid] Scanned copies of the GIA and AGS certs

    It has been my experience that copies (and scans) of the certs are
    available from the OWNERS of the diamonds. 

    Large Diamond distributors list their stones on many venues: RapNet,
    Polygon, BlueNile, etc. In order to do that, jpgs of the certs are
    essential. 

    Several diamond wholesalers are now set up to add a "diamond search"
    to your store's website, listing their stones with copies of the
    certs and links that make it appear like the inventory is YOURS. 

    Sadly when the same diamond is being offered by a number of
    retailers (some with storefronts and some online only) the only way
    to make the sale is by offering the stones with extremely low
    margins.
