Never ever buy anything from India, no disrespect to anyone from India on here but 99.9% of the Indian sellers on eBay sell simulants, I keep reporting them to eBay as it gives the genuine sellers a bad name. I have the option of GIA certs from this seller and I have done with some of my Rubies, ALL of them have come back exactly as the Seller has described. As always it’s buyer beware
