The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) uses Excellent for their highest level of polish and symmetry. Because of this the trade refers to AGS certificates as triple-excellent, which is actually a misnomer. All Amore diamonds carry the AGS certificate for quality and are triple “0” or triple Ideal: Ideal proportions, Ideal polish and Ideal symmetry. The hearts and fire burst pattern in each Amore diamond is visual proof of a fourth Ideal as well – Ideal scintillation – which is the sparkle caused by the ultimate contrast between all adjacent facets.
