GCAL report 362086192
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?
