How to tell if diamond is AGS-000?

[shokubutsu]

Dear all,

I was wondering if it''s possible to tell if a diamond is a triple-000 (cut, symmetry and polish) from an AGS report? Most of the time, it''s indicated only as AGS Ideal 0 for cut grade only?

For instance, is the following a triple-ideal diamond?

Thanks for the advice!

There is a lot of confusion about AGS0 vs. AGS000 because along the line AGS changed their terminology. You really just want a stone that gets a 0 for cut grade. Different reports might call it a 000 or a 0.

So yes, this one you have is an AGS0.

Thanks! Really clarified my thoughts there.

Any comments about the diamond which I had linked earlier? I''m keen to get something like that to fashion into an engagement ring for that perfect moment. Would really like to get her something that''s of good quality to make her say yes!

The stone is super-yummy. And F VS2!

(Obviously, it's nearing my dinner time.)

I think it would be a very nice choice!
