The Carat Standard

GIA report 1545299880

1.50 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

51/100 · Investigate

The report asks for a more careful visual review.

What reads well

  • H color should face up white in most settings.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • The GIA cut grade is Good: the lab's own assessment points to less brightness and fire than its top tier.
  • Crown 39.5° / pavilion 40° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
  • Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
  • Depth 66.7% sits outside the preferred round range.
  • Very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does a gray ring or glassy patch show around the center when you look straight down?
  • With 66.7% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 1.50 ct round?
  • Does the diamond look crisp and transparent in natural light, or is there any milky haze?
  • Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
