With the merger for GIA and AGS, AGS no longer exist to issue grading reports. Therefore, jewelers like WhiteFlash will now rely on GIA for their grading report. WhiteFlash has done a tremendous job by using the full diamond grading report from GIA. Most of the time, this grading report is only available for diamonds starting from 1 carat and above. Now, you can even find these on a 30-pointer diamond such as this one: https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/0.33-carat-e-color-vvs1-clarity-round-excellent-cut-sku-a4586405?a_aid=myengringexp

There is only one logical reason for WhiteFlash to use the full grading report - The inclusion plotting diagram. This is because all previous WhiteFlash AGS grading reports have it, and WhiteFlash wanted to give a very similar experience for her customers for ACAs graded by GIA. Honestly, they do not need to do that for diamonds below 1 carat, this move shows that they really care for their customers as well as make sure their ACA brand live up to its high standard. For WhiteFlash top range diamonds, the ACA, they will come with AGS Ideal Report as well.
