I recently decided to buy a princess cut diamond and now I'm looking for the gemstone in an ideal cut grade. Where can I find it?

So far I looked in several online and b&m jewelry stores and couldn't find such a diamond. Does anyone know where I can locate a princess cut diamond with ideal cut grade?

You wouldn't be able to find a princess cut stone with an ideal/excellent cut grade since the GIA and AGS have determined that the ideal/excellent cut grade parameters only apply to round-cut brilliant diamonds. Since the diamond's dimensions are perfectly symmetrical it becomes easy to consistently grade their cut.
