Lorelei:
Question on Michael Jay:
I went on their website to view the inventory. They list Ideal/Excellent cuts that have lower grades in polish and symmetry.
Can you have an Ideal cut and still have a grade of good/good for polish and symmetry?
I would like to know because I overlook stones that have good and very good grades.
Now I''m confused again
.
From all I''ve read, Ideal cuts receive excellents in polish/symmetry/cut. That is how you get AGS000. GIA doesn''t grade the same but if you know the Ideal parameters you can check the Sarin to see if it is truly Ideal proportions.
If this is true I think Michael Jay might not be honest in the description of their stones which is why I''m so scared to go to NYC to look at diamonds.
Hope you don''t mind clearling this up for me.
