I've got a question about an AGS1 stone. It's specs:
Carat:.88
Clarity: VVS2
Color: D
Depth:61.1
Table:55.6
Crown Angle:33.0
Pav Angle:40.9
Culet:.3
The only thing that makes it a AGS1 is the Crown Angle. Everyone touts AGS0
stones, but I've also heard that some non-AGS0 stones perform better (light
return etc) than AGS0. I entered this into the HCA and it came up as .5 -
within TIC range and was Excellent in 3 of 4 categories.
What are the pros/cons of this stone? It seems like it is a great one from
the HCA, but it is not an AGS0. How much does that matter? Will there be
light leakage because of the slightly out of AGS0 standard crown angle? Any
thoughts would be appreciated.
