3.00 ct Asscher Diamond

51/100 · Investigate

The report asks for a more careful visual review.

What reads well

  • A 1.01:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic Asscher / square emerald range.
  • Table 65% and depth 68.3% fall in the typical Asscher / square emerald range.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • SI2 in an Asscher / square emerald: the open step-cut table makes inclusions easier to see. View an image or video of this exact stone.
  • Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
  • Face-up area is about 10% below typical Asscher / square emeralds of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
  • Feathers are listed: check the plot for any that reach the girdle or surface, which matters for durability.
  • 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

  • Does the diamond look crisp and transparent in natural light, or is there any milky haze?
  • 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?
  • With Very Good symmetry, are any facet junctions visibly misaligned?
