If AGS goes too tight on what a great stone is then yea it might somewhat happen.
If they do that at least one person will reject the grading (me).

They have stated that a wide range of looks will be allowed to get the top grade so time will tell.
There will also always be a small market for the traditional antique style asschers.

Not sure what you might have heard to make you think that this is in the works, but as of last I heard the square emerald cuts have already been decided and there are a large number of options that make the grade, including that beauty with the 45% table that I posted last year. It was cut by an Indian company to one of those weird combinations that don''t exist much in the real world because of the loss of weight in cutting them.

Posted again for your viewing pleasure, I wish I had been offered the oportunity to buy this stone, it is SUCH a beauty. Actual photo, no photoshopping to show the incredible dispersion of this gem of an asscher.
