I would appreciate any input. Thanks

The info provided is not enough for people to help you.
ASET photo''s would help a lot.
The thin girdles are a big no no for me - but it depends where the thin is.
AGS 0 light performance is a plus but I do not always like their selection process.

If in doubt send both to an independant appraiser.

Ditto Garry, do you have images such as ASET and detailed photographs please?

 

[statbook28]

Here are some pictures of the AGS0 color H, I do not have any of the GIA EX/EX Color G. I am trying to get some. Any opinions on these pictures?

 

[Lorelei]

Looks good from the images, thanks for posting them!

 

[stone-cold11]

AGS stone looks good from the image.

 

[statbook28]

If you had to put an estimate price for the two stones, what would you estimate?

This depends, also whether both are for sale online or from a store, brick and mortar stores are generally more expensive than online. If these are both online, you can compare prices of similar using the Diamond Prices: tool above.

How much is the AGS0 premium worth versus other H VS2''s?

 

[statbook28]

Here is one of the certs.

 

[statbook28]

Here is the AGS cert. Is there anything on either of the two that would be of a concern?

 

[stone-cold11]

Not much can be said about the GIA stone. The AGS stone is a WF ACA, their branded cut, so that will incur some additional premium over similar AGS0 stone.

 

[Lorelei]

No way to tell anything with the GIA diamond without images unfortunately. The ACA looks good, there will obviously be a premium as it is a branded cut, various vendor benefits such as upgrade policies offered and it is an AGS0.

Two things:

What would you estimate the price should be for the AGS0 stone?
Are the feathers anything to worry about?

As Lorelei mentioned, there is a search function above where you can find that out for yourself.

I like the looks of that H you posted.

 

[statbook28]

So the feathers seem close to the edge in the AGS0, that shouldn''t be a problem since it is a VS2, correct?

Normally shouldn''t be an issue but you can check with an appraiser to make sure.

Thanks for all your help. I purchased the 1.32ct AGS0 H VS2 Princess and am having it put in WF''s Legato setting.
I paid $6900 for the stone and setting. Do you think the price is right?
