Unlike rounds, there is no way to predict cut quality without some sort of performance indicator or image - preferably an ASET image.

Very simple. The AGS is the only lab that grades princess performance. If the princess cut is AGS Ideal it''s the "real" ideal.

It looks like it has potential, although it seems to be a bit of a shallow stone for a princess. Ask the vendor for a picture, ASET, and IS images. And if they don''t know what you''re talking about, run the other way!

Ditto John, an ASET image and detailed photographs are really necessary to be able to judge this diamond, otherwise there is no way of knowing how it could look unfortunately.
