AGA vs AGS for ideal cut

Search_Diamond Rough Rock Total Posts: 18 Last Post: 5/16/2003 Member Since: 4/22/2003	Is the AGA standard for the ideal cut simply tighter proportions than the AGS? I ask this in order to better assess what proportions I should use in finding a diamond that trully falls within the Ideal Cut as agreed by the "industry" as a whole.

Do you want to maximize dispersion (color)? Or do you prefer to maximize brilliance (white light)? How you answer that question will determine what numbers are really right for you.

If you augment either of these category profiles with actual optical analysis' (IdealScope, BrillianceScope, DiamCalc), you can't go wrong.
