Recommendations

These diamonds are ones that caught my eye and which I then compared to the American Gem Society's cut guidelines charts. The AGS cut grade scale goes from 0 to 10 with 0 being ideal. I always recommend AGS 0 to 1 ovals to ensure maximum brilliance. Note that I expanded the search to include VS1 diamonds as searching for a potential AGS 0 within the VVS range did not return any results.

I recommend a stone by combining a number of assessment factors including:

  • the stone’s proportions and angles
  • how confident I am that the recipient will absolutely love love love the diamond;
  • calculated level of light return
  • optical precision
  • good quality diamond material
  • the value I believe it represents;
  • must be deemed eye-clean by me;
  • how well it fits the brief.
