3.59 ct Oval Laboratory-Grown Diamond

80/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • Face-up spread (15.00 × 7.86 mm) is typical or better for a 3.59 ct oval.
  • Table 60% and depth 60.7% fall in the typical oval range.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in an oval.

What deserves a closer look

  • A 1.91:1 length-to-width ratio is outside the classic oval range; the outline will look more elongated than typical.
  • Screening only: for this oval, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie (a dark band across the centre) and whether both ends look even.
  • Treatment status is not stated on the report. For a laboratory-grown diamond, ask whether it is as-grown or post-growth treated.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 60%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for an oval, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Ideal
60.7% is within the typical 58–63.5% range for an oval, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Length-to-width · Favorable
A 1.91:1 outline is longer and slimmer than the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an oval — a matter of taste, but worth seeing in person.
Polish · Ideal
Excellent polish is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
Symmetry · Ideal
Excellent symmetry is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
Girdle · Ideal
Thin - sl. thick, faceted: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal
None: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Ideal
D is in the colorless range and faces up white in any metal.
Clarity · Favorable
VS1 is typically eye-clean.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.
Cut grade · Ideal
Excellent as issued by GCAL, on GCAL's own scale. The measured proportions above tell you more than the label.

What to check on the exact stone

  • In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
  • Can you confirm the stone's weight and measurements match the GCAL report before it is set?
