3.00 ct Cushion Diamond

84/100 · Refined

A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.

What reads well

Thick to extremely thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size.
I color in a 3.00 ct cushion may show some warmth, especially at the corners.
Screening only: for this cushion, check images or video of the exact stone for the facet pattern (bold, chunky flashes or finer "crushed ice") and any dark areas under the table.

Table · Ideal: At 58%, the table sits within the typical 56–66% range for a cushion, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look: 69.5% is deeper than typical for a cushion (61–69%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
Length-to-width · Ideal: A 1:1 outline is within the classic 1–1.35:1 range for a cushion.
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 · Closer look: Thick to extremely thick, faceted: a thick girdle carries weight in the rim, so the stone can face up a little smaller for its carat weight. It is durable, though.
Culet · Ideal: None: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Favorable: I may show slight warmth, especially next to white metal. Yellow or rose gold tends to complement it.
Clarity · Ideal: VVS2: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

With 69.5% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct cushion?
Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
