3.00 ct Asscher Diamond

What reads well

• A 1.04:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic Asscher / square emerald range.
• No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

• Face-up area is about 14% below typical Asscher / square emeralds of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
• Very Good polish / Good symmetry is below the Excellent/Very Good standard and can soften sparkle.
• Very thick to extremely thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size.
• A 71.8% depth is deep for a step cut: weight sits below the girdle and the stone faces up smaller.
• Screening only: windowing, contrast and the step-cut "hall of mirrors" pattern in an Asscher / square emerald can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

• With 71.8% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct square?
• Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
• With open step facets, is the center completely eye-clean without any visible dark marks?
• Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
