The Carat Standard

GCAL report 362156213

3.00 ct Cushion Laboratory-Grown Diamond

86/100 · Refined

A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.

What reads well

  • A 1.22:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic cushion range.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • FL clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • The depth 71.1% sits outside the typical cushion range.
  • Thick to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a cushion can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.
  • Treatment status is not stated on the report. For a laboratory-grown diamond, ask whether it is as-grown or post-growth treated.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 71.1% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct cushion?
  • Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
  • Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
  • Can you confirm the stone's weight and measurements match the GCAL report before it is set?
