The Carat Standard

GIA report 1558861752

3.00 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

73/100 · Character

Distinctive trade-offs that should be viewed deliberately.

What reads well

  • Crown 33° with pavilion 40.8° sits in the well-regarded pairing zone for brightness and fire.
  • The GIA Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • I color in a round brilliant usually faces up near-colorless once set.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • SI2 is often not eye-clean in a round brilliant; view an image or video of this exact stone.
  • Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
  • Feathers are listed: check the plot for any that reach the girdle or surface, which matters for durability.
  • The report notes internal graining; these can soften transparency in some stones.
  • I color can show slight warmth in some settings, more so in white metal.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Can I see this stone in soft daylight away from store spotlights to verify its sparkle?
  • Does the sparkle look bright and even all the way out to the edges?
  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Does the diamond look crisp and transparent in natural light, or is there any milky haze?
