Is AGS ideal enough?

I found a diamond online that I'm VERY interested in getting to wear in a pendant. It's specs are

57 table
61.1 depth
34.1 CA
40.9 PA

and it is graded AGS 0 for light performance and proportions. The company doesn't give Idealscope or ASET images, but they have a 30 day return policy and a trade-up policy.

I'm figuring given it's great HCA score (1.3) and the fact that it's AGS Ideal with Ideal polish and symmetry as well, that it'l will be great for a pendant. I'm not looking for a hearts and arrows or anything since I won't get to admire them on my neck anyway.

Can I really go wrong with an AGS0 and a 30 day return policy? I know that it's always best to get these iamges, but the price on this stone is pretty low and I'm thinking it can't be THAT much of a gamble anyway. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance for any opinions
