How can I determine my diamond's cut?

[lanasyogamama]

My ring is from 2002, and GIA did not start rating diamond's cut until 2006 according to this: http://www.bluenile.com/diamonds/diamond-cut/diamond-cut-grading/gia-diamond-grading-report

I was wondering, if I have my GIA, is there a way of determining the cut?

the link doesn't work for me, but I'd guess the only way is to have it re-evaluated.

Oops! Not sure what happened with my link. It just says this:

Cut Grade: A grade of cut as determined by a diamond's face-up appearance, design and craftsmanship. A cut grade is available on round diamonds graded after Jan. 1, 2006.

I wouldn't bother getting re-evaluated, I'm just curious!

What shape is your diamond?

Take it to an appraiser! If your diamond is an RB and your GIA report has angles and percentages go to pricescope to see the ideal ranges for each of those numbers. You'll probably need an appraiser for any other cut.

Also check the numbers on the HCA on Pricescope.

That said, I don't really take GIA's cutrating into consideration, I really put my weight in AGS for that.

Appraisers are like $40 - I agree, they can tell you everything you need to know!

Thanks everyone! It's a round brilliant 2.00 carat.
