Most these days, yes. Pre 2000 AGS downgraded diamonds with pointed culets.Aren't most MRB pointed?
Today only 1.5% of GIA X-VG have a culet in 1.00 to 1.10ct on RapNet

@Rockdiamond you may be thinking of something else? Let me be more specific.Re-reading my post- I never wrote that AGS Ideal cut stones don't break 6.3mm.
My interpretation -...and now carat stones rarely break 6.4mm. Sellers of "Ideal Cuts' will say such stones appear larger due to girdle to girdle brilliance.....and if we're comparing two 6.3mm stones, that may be true. But a well cut 60/60 spreading 6.5mm will appear larger than a super ideal of 6.3mm.
I only put them back where they came from.Hi John, All due respect, but you're attempting to put words into my mouth (or post as it were).
Thanks. That's all I was asking.I agree that there are no "Super Ideal" 1.00ct diamonds which spread 6.3mm.
Terms & conditions were explained above. But I'm a friendly guy. Catch me in a good mood.You can still buy me a round - opportunity knocks back
I wish some of you chaps would come over to the UK - would be great to talk shiny things face-to-face
This is true- and reading it again, you’re right that my post was ambiguous. Thanks for pointing it out.But I'm a friendly guy.
Hi Gentlemen,@Rockdiamond you may be thinking of something else? Let me be more specific.
Here is what you posted. I'm referencing the blue highlighted portions.
My interpretation -
1. You postulate a comparison of carat stones.
2. One would be a 60/60 spreading 6.5mm (these exist)
3. Another would be a "super ideal" spreading 6.3mm (see my question)
Result: The 60/60 will appear larger. Indeed. But that configuration (carat spreading only 6.3mm) cannot earn AGS Ideal. And no "super ideal" seller would stock such a lump.
My question: Can you link us to any "super ideal" spreading only 6.3mm that weighs a carat, for use in your proposed comparison?
If you can, I'll buy your table a couple of rounds in Vegas this June. Opportunity knocks.
Fwiw, here's my AGS# from post #2 - the 0.9 vs 1.0 HCA
104097975020
My AGS # is 104097609018
A reminder - you will also get a lower HCA score if you enter that your stone shows H&A's. If you enter the cert alone it will not use H&A's as we can not trust vendors who put H&A's into their stone description forms. It must be in the eye of the beholder (opinion). So GIA or AGS stones can have H&A's.I just did. When I used the AGS number I got a 0.9, but when I entered the numbers from the WF site myself I got the same 1.0 I got a year ago. I don't know if it's the program rounding the table to 56 from 55.9 or what. I don't think it's the rounding from 1.514 carats to 1.51. Doesn't matter, the ring is still beautiful.
And just incase people reading page 2 do not know it - you can just click on the now colored HCA results and get a score and all the report details for every stone listed on Pricescope round diamond search.
Thanks Wink,Garry,
I think that is an incredibly useful feature for people looking through the listings on Pricescope. Thank you for the update!
