M. Flynn sells GIA graded natural stones and we have seen a rise in the popularity of Lab grown diamonds. We are very honest that the market of Lab grown diamonds is still developing and the prices have been fluctuating so we cannot guarantee that the price you pay is what it will be valued at in the future. We also sell a lot of antique or estate stones. I love antique stones but a buyer must consider that these stones are rare and the guidelines we have for choosing a modern stone, may not be as important when we are selecting older stone.

Depending on the shape you choose, we may focus on certain qualities more than others. We always bring a few stones in to view because while we love GIA and how their grading system is strict and clear, there’s so much that a report doesn’t tell.
