GIA report 1529926037
3.00 ct Cushion Diamond
81/100 · Considered
A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.
What reads well
- A 1.02:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic cushion range.
- Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
- G color should face up white in most settings.
What deserves a closer look
- Face-up area is about 19% below typical cushions of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
- Surface-reaching characteristics are listed (knot); check their position on the plot for durability.
- Strong blue fluorescence in a G-color stone: a small share of such stones look hazy in sunlight. View it in daylight and neutral light.
- The report notes internal graining; these can soften transparency in some stones.
- Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a cushion can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.
What to check on the exact stone
- With 69.4% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct cushion?
- Does the diamond look crisp and transparent in natural light, or is there any milky haze?
- Is the surface opening protected by a prong, or could it catch lint and risk chipping?
- Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
