Hit enter accidentally! Anyway, bought a HOF AGS 000 in October,and want to know if these measurements are still AGS0 under new requirements...

Table: 55%
CA: 34.6
PA: 40.9
Girdle .7- 1.5
crown depth: 15.6%
pav depth: 43.1%
total depth: 61.7%
culet pointed

It seems like it is on the border of the new AGS0 requirements when I look on the HCA. I still love the stone, but am wondering if it would be considered an AGS 1 now? What do you think of this stone? It is 2.01 E SI1
 
I don't think the HCA chart incorporates the new AGS standard. Where did you find it ?

This below is the old GS0 bracket:

If the stone is large enough for it's weight (which it is) and brilliant (which the HCA may predict by numbers and an IdealScope or other measurement toold would tell for sure)... and the price is right... why would the new AGS0 standard matter ?
 
I saved this somewhere along the way. It''s similar to the one Valeria attached, but it shows the old versus new AGS-0 specs. Hope this helps.

the new standard uses the proportions only to aid cutters to achieve the grade.
Many factors need to be lined up - and if all the minor facets and things are great - then a stone can be outside those parameters on the chart and still be AGS 0

Your stone looks like it is OK.

The most recent charts have a few small variations from those published in September.
 
Thank you Garry, I value your opinion quite a lot!
 
Is there a different graph for each table size???
