1.25 ct Oval Diamond

What reads well

• A 1.40:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic oval range.
• Face-up spread (8.45 × 6.04 mm) is typical or better for a 1.25 ct oval.
• Table 62% and depth 59.4% fall in the typical oval range.
• Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
• G color should face up white in most settings.

What deserves a closer look

• Medium to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
• The report notes surface graining and internal graining; these can soften transparency in some stones.
• Screening only: for this oval, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie (a dark band across the centre) and whether both ends look even.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal

At 62%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for an oval, balancing brightness with fire.

Total depth · Ideal

59.4% is within the typical 58–63.5% range for an oval, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.

Length-to-width · Ideal

A 1.4:1 outline is within the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an oval.

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

Medium to very 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

G is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings, though an oval can show a hint of warmth at the tips.

Clarity · Ideal

VVS2: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.

Fluorescence · Ideal

None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

What to check on the exact stone

• Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
• In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
• 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?
