To qualify as AGS 0000 Ideal cut, a diamond must be polished to incredible precision, every facet carefully angled to maximize brilliance, scintillation, fire and overall Light Performance. The AGS Light Performance Grading Report sets the highest standard in the diamond industry, AGS 0000 Ideal. The 0’ mean zero deductions. 0 for Polish, 0 for Symmetry, 0 for overall Cut, and 0 for overall Light Performance.
Every Fire and Ice diamond achieves this maximum grade, but Fire and Ice goes beyond Ideal to produce a diamond which consistently faces up bigger, brighter and whiter even compared to other Excellent and Ideal cut diamonds.
