GIA report 1509591914

1.50 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

88/100 · Refined

A strong, composed candidate on paper.

What reads well

Crown 36.5° / pavilion 41.2° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
Depth 63.3% sits outside the preferred round range.

Table · Ideal: At 57%, the table sits within the typical 53–59% range for a round brilliant, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look: 63.3% is deeper than typical for a round brilliant (59.5–63%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
Crown angle · Closer look: A 36.5° crown is steeper than the typical 32–36° zone. Steep crowns can add fire, but only pair well with a slightly shallower pavilion.
Pavilion angle · Ideal: 41.2° is inside the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone where the pavilion returns light most efficiently.
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: Medium to slightly thick, faceted, 3.5%: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal: None: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Favorable: G is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings.
Clarity · Ideal: VVS1: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.
Cut grade · Ideal: Excellent as issued by GIA, on GIA's own scale. The measured proportions above tell you more than the label.

Does the steep crown give lively fire without making the center look darker?
With 63.3% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 1.50 ct round?
Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
