I was just thinking about an experience I had about two years ago, that surfaced again recently with the same jeweler about a month ago.
Two years ago I bought diamond stud earrings for my g/f at the time for Xmas. Long story short, we broke up and I ended up returning them. They used loose diamonds to create the pair.
Also, I went in to look around at diamonds for an engagement ring as part of the pricescope "shop around at home too".
This guy runs probably the classiest shop around. He was actually the Pennsylvania Jeweler of the Year a couple years ago. I think he is high priced compared to here online, but they sell a good product.
Anyway..as I ramble on..they would bring the loose stones out folded up in little papers w/info written on the front (size, color, clarity, anc cut). I got everything, except the "cut". They used letter "As". For example...I saw diamonds that were "AAA", "AA+", etc.
Is anyone familiar with this way of grading cut and what does it mean. Just curious so I know if I go back to the guy.
