Recently, I was looking at an Argyle pink diamond on eBay being offered for sale by a vendor based in Thailand.The certificate displayed was issued from a large, reputable organization. So far, so good. I went to the website of the certifier and punched in the ID number and sure enough the certificate was displayed. Still all good...until I noticed that information about the fluorescence noted on the certificate on the website of the certifier was missing from the certificate displayed by the vendor on eBay...Then I noticed spelling and grammatical errors in the disclaimer located at the bottom of the certificate displayed by the eBay vendor. Mistakes that this large, reputable diamond certifier would be very unlikely to make. I concluded that this was quite probably a photograph of a fake certificate. Buyer beware.
