I am shopping for a 1.3-1.5ct round ideal cut diamond, preferably E-G color and not SI and trying my best to save fiancé and myself some money by selecting a used diamond. I’ve been searching primarily for a new diamond on Brian Gavin website, but the prices seem out of reach. I came across this AGS (my preferred grader with their ASET technology) Ideal diamond but the proportions provided on the report do not seem to correlate to what would now be considered an ideal cut as this stone was graded in 2001. Please help! Do you have any knowledge of how AGS grading has changed throughout the years? I’m most concerned with the steep crown and pavilion angles and would like your opinion on whether this cut is truly ideal (HCA came back at 3.4). Also, my research has shown the cost of an ideal 1.34ct F diamond to range from $10-13k, this diamond is listed for approximately $9k. I’m thinking it would be prudent to determine a lower offer price, and would much appreciate your input on price given the used condition, seemingly non ideal proportions, limited images/no video of ring.
Thank you in advance for any input, this has been a very trying experience as I do my best to make an educated purchase. Also open to other suggestions, trying to stay around $7-$10k but as low as possible..
