Cryoung, it is good that you were able to get Sarin for the diamond before purchasing it!

I'm sorry but the answer is - NOT RECOMENDED.

This diamond is indeed within AGS ideal range and you are going to pay premium for that. However, this is the worst (steep/deep) combination of the pavilion and crown angles for AGS0 diamond. Have a look at this part of tutorial: www.pricescope.com/tutor_agsideal.asp

Holloway Cut Adviser gives for these proportions only 5.1 - Good - Only if price is your main criterion

It can be a nice diamond but definitely not worth the premium for ideal.
