Since current grading reports (GIA and AGS) do not currently measure symmetry and cut with sufficient precision to grant a higher rating to high-end diamonds (like Hearts and Arrows), do most appraisers simply value H&A diamonds at the same price as other AGS triple 0 diamonds (all other measures being equal)?
I suppose the thrust of my question is one about insurance and/or resale - if a buyer pays a premium for an H&A diamond, will he or she be unable to recoup this premium upon resale or loss because the grading reports do not distinguish between H&A and any other ideal diamond?
Thanks!
