AGS Ideal Report Now Available in Printed Form
From now through mid-May, GIA will be offering the reports at a 50 percent discount.
The printed version of the AGS Ideal Report
Carlsbad, Calif.—The Gemological Institute of America announced Tuesday that it is now offering a printed version of the AGS Ideal Report.
The AGS Ideal Report was introduced at the end of 2022 when the American Gem Society closed AGS Laboratories and merged its operations with those of GIA.
The report measures a diamond’s light performance, including brightness, fire, and contrast.
At the time the deal was announced, the report was offered as a digital-only supplement to six GIA products: the Diamond Grading Report, Diamond Dossier, Laboratory-Grown Diamond Report, Laboratory-Grown Diamond Report Dossier, eReport, and Diamond FOCUS Report.
The new printed version of the AGS Ideal report is available with those same six grading reports and at a 50 percent discount, for the next month.
GIA said Tuesday that from now through May 15, printed AGS Ideal reports will cost $2.50. The limited-time promotion is available globally.
The $2.50 for the physical report is in addition to the $25 GIA charges for the service.
The lab said it will offer printed AGS Ideal reports to clients with digital AGS Ideal reports without them having to resubmit the diamond to GIA.
