Cutting the AGS-0-Princess : the experience with the lab
by Paul Slegers | Published  28/03/2005 | Diamond Grading
Testing the performance of the stones
Before and after we sent the stones to AGS, we have tested their light performance with a number of professional and amateur observers.

The professionals all agreed that all 6 are princess-cuts, like they had never seen before. Compared to the traditional princess-cuts on the market, these offer a play of brilliance, fire and scintillation that is much closer to that of a round, than one is used to in princess-cuts.

As for both professionals and amateurs, it is interesting to note that some preferred stones that graded Excellent on Light Performance above stones that graded Ideal.
