I would check the pricescope comparisons to see.

Hi Leeann. The diamond listed is not considered an AGS Ideal Cut, the parameters of which you can see at the address following. It looks like it would rank an AGS 4, and with the 35.8/41.2 crown/pavilion angle relationship would probably have moderate light leakage just inside the table.

As far as seeing how the diamond compares to market rate, JustCut's suggestion of checking it against similar diamonds on PriceScope's search engine is excellent.

Just plug into the "pricescope" portion of the menu at the top of your screeen.

Robin-Todd, I usually shake my head like that after appraising one of your pyrotechnic ideal cuts. It's an instinctive reaction of trying to get my retinas working again.
