The Carat Standard

GIA report 12914968

3.00 ct Radiant Diamond

54/100 · Investigate

The report asks for a more careful visual review.

What reads well

  • A 1.29:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic radiant range.
  • G color should face up white in most settings.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • The table 72% and depth 80.3% sit outside the typical radiant range.
  • Face-up area is about 20% below typical radiants of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
  • Very Good polish / Good symmetry is below the Excellent/Very Good standard and can soften sparkle.
  • Extremely thin to extremely thick girdle: a very thin edge raises chipping risk.
  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a radiant can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 80.3% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct cut-cornered?
  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
  • The girdle is very thin—will the setting prongs fully protect the knife-edge from chipping?
