Hi all!
I am patiently (more so impatiently) waiting for my setting to be made for my diamond.. and my neurotic mind cannot shutoff.
I’ve googled this and I’ve searched it on the PS forums. But I really want to know for educational purposes..
What is the difference between a super ideal, ideal and GIA XXX diamond?
Are only branded diamonds capable of the Super Ideal distinction? Ex. WF, CBI, HPD, etc?
Are “ideal” diamonds AGS certified and “XXXdiamonds GIA certified? And is that the difference? Lol, I am so utterly confused.
in my research I came across this chart that stated this guys super ideal stats:
But he also mentions that just these stats do not make it super ideal alone, you also need to look at the ASET, hearts and arrows, etc to determine if it is “super ideal.”
the diamond that my BF and I purchased fits all of these specs, is grade GIA XXX. I actually found another post with ASET and H&A pics from a former PS member on here that was looking for advice when he was looking to buy the same diamond. He luckily for me, did not buy it.
I honestly do not know how to interpret these pictures. LOL, so I’ll just assume it’s not super ideal.
But is it possible for someone to find a non-branded super ideal diamond on a fluke?
TIA for everyone’s constant support in this forum! I’m learning so much!
