Mixed bag. The way the price engine works is it pulls ALL diamonds that are very similar to the one you asked for and then gives you price statistics on the selected samples. Some diamonds in that population may be certified, others may not be. Some diamonds may come from high-end retailers while others might come from low-price wholesalers or online jewelers.
Keep in mind that the purpose of the price engine is to give you a ballpark figure to (1) give you an idea of prices for what you want, and (2) help prevent you from getting ripped off. If you want an actual valuation on a specific diamond, you must contact an expert who will then physically examine the diamond (the process goes way above the 4C's).
Hope that answers your question.

The prices I've seen on DR.com quotes seem lower that what I've seen at various sites. Especially for 2 carat stones. Am I wrong?
