I'm trying to find the right diamond and have an understanding the at cut is the most important criteria. Looking for an Ideal cut diamond, it is my understanding that the Depth should be 61.5% Table 53-57%, Crown 34.5, Pavillion 43.10% ..... Correct?. I call Tiffany (for example) and state that I'm looking for a diamond that is AGC 000 (Ideal cut). They quote me on a stone that is Table 60%, Depth 60.1% and tell me that that is Ideal. Another Dealer tells me their stone is Table 59% and Depth 61.7 and that that stone is Ideal. I've yet to find a stone that meets the proportins I stated above.
Questions:
1) Is my understanding for a stone with the most Fire as I state above?
2) AGC 000 = Ideal Cut?
3) Are there many versions of 'Ideal'?
4) All I have is the certificate when I make the decision? How do I know that I'm making the right choice without seeing the stone? (FYI: Once decided, I'll fly to fetch the stone.)
Please advise.
Thanks
