Ideal numbers

John,

Thank you kindly for rehashing this thread and bringing closure. Admittedly I get easily distracted at times and put things on the burner.

Will you be at symposium?

Kind regards,

Neil - I assume you''re replying to the original post from a while back? (edited: am I crazy, or was the OP not quoted in your post before?)

AGS has several types of reports that include a cut grade, in particular their main style of reporting called a Diamond Quality Document. Ideal cut stones will say ‘ideal’ in this section. They have some reports that deliberately exclude this information. The other main AGS document is similar and is called an Diamond Quality Report. This does not have the cut grade and it’s primary reason for existing is if the lab client doesn’t want the cut grading mentioned on the report. You’re pretty safe to assume that this means that it’s non-ideal if it has one of these.

While I agree it''s important to check the numbers, we''ve had thousands of ideal diamonds graded using the DQR. It costs less than a DQD, and those savings can be reflected in the price offered to the customer.

John,

I stand corrected. When I see DQR''s , I''m accustomed to dealers who want to say ''AGS certified'' without the messy detail of showing the cut grade. Something tells me that Whiteflash doesn''t rely on the AGR paperwork for purposes of demonstrating the cut anyway.

In my poor typing, I posted 3 slightly different versions of the same post. The admin thoughtfully deleted the two trash ones. I didn''t notice the date on the original posting and didn''t spot this thread when it came through. I chimed in because the question couldn''t really be answered and it seemed like I should explain why.
