AGS Thinks Big
With large diamonds still one of the hottest part of the markets, supply is tight and time is money (as anyone who has purchased a large stone and sunk almost their entire open-to-buy into it will no doubt agree!) AGS Laboratories recently announced it will speed grading of larger diamonds. Diamonds of more than three carats or more will receive express service at no extra charge. Diamonds of seven carats or more will receive grading results in one business day and diamonds weighing 3.00-6.99 carats will receive grading results in three business days. AGS also will offer performance-based cut grades, already available for round and princess cuts, for emerald cuts too in February.
