Looking at some diamonds recently, at the "good" jewelry store in the region, and the best cut they had in the 1.75ct range was an AGS Cut grade of 2 (Very good). She said "yes, it is basically as good as an AGS ideal, most eyes won't notice a difference" and it did look good under the jewelry store lighting. But, they can order an AGS ideal for me if I want one, the price difference really isn't that much.
if I go the AGS ideal route, can I basically be guaranteed a beautiful, no regrets diamond? That is the point of the light performance grade, correct? I don't want to skimp on cut; then again, this is a sight unseen purchase if they are pulling in a stone to be examined (I likely won't have 2 AGS ideal diamonds to compare to). Just bite the bullet and order the best one I can find in my price range?
And what about Super Ideal? I don't see that term on the AGS cert, but do hear the term bounced around quite a bit here.
