The discussion arose in another thread-there was a suggestion made to to open relevant thread.
[URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/gia-india-is-this-junk.207237/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/gia-india-is-this-junk.207237/[/URL]
We know from the only cut grade that GIA currently offers that AGSL has a far narrower range allowed in their top cut grade.
Is this the best way to do it?
I for one, hope that GIA, should they ever issue cut grades for Fancy Shapes, allows for a greater range of taste, as compared with the AGS 0 cut grade for Princess Cut diamonds.
This is not to lessen the value of AGSL in any way. Without a doubt it takes more time, and a higher level of skill for a cutter to achieve the top cut grade with AGSL.
If GIA does issue princess cut grades- and they are wider than AGSL, the 0 cut grade stones will likely command a premium.
But if I was polled I would have gone with a different model that AGSL Princess cut for purely aesthetic reasons.
