Signiture Ideal

[takingtheplung]

How does Blue Nile decide on its Signiture Ideal cuts? Is there a real difference between a signiture ideal and ideal?

Good link.

Drill farther...and farther, depending on the shape of choice.

Some other ideas...to be confirmed:

1) Signature series are "in house." They would not advertise this, because the intended perception, without otherwise asking, is that they are all in house.

Is this a difference that makes a difference? Hopefully.

2) Why brought in house. As the links above review...the overriding criteria is proportion analysis.
But, AGS decidedly has evolved beyond this.
It's been reported by the past admin that BN claims that where certification of performance varies from what their metric for proportions describe, they would let the certification description trump their performance criteria determinants. But, this has not proven out, i.e., if their software is supposed to flexibly report on ideal, depending on certification, it does not.
I would presume they let their proportions based metric decide which to call ideal, and if called ideal, it may be brought in house, and branded "signature." Still, however, for example, typically, with Princesses...they call their AGS zeros only "good," and all signature options are from GIA, conforming to their performance metric.

Net...the signature difference, may only be valued by Pricescsope performance standards positively if a round. Am I wrong?
