And they'll note any inclusion on the diamond accurately so you'll know if you can hide it under a prong on the setting.
We used GSI
after we bought it so we could goose its valuation when we looked to insure it.
So yeah - it's valuable. But not
that valuable.
I'd probably take the 'main' stone out, sell it independently, and then sell the setting on its own.
