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.
No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
Slightly thick girdle balances durability and weight retention.

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.

Table · Closer look: A 60% table is larger than typical for a round brilliant (53–59%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Ideal: 59.7% is within the typical 59.5–63% range for a round brilliant, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Crown angle · Ideal: 33° sits in the 32–36° zone where crown angles typically balance fire and brightness.
Pavilion angle · Ideal: 40.8° is inside the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone where the pavilion returns light most efficiently.
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 · Ideal: Slightly thick, faceted, 4.0%: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
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 · Closer look: SI2: inclusions may be visible to the eye. Confirm with images or video before buying.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.
Cut grade · Ideal: Excellent as issued by GIA, on GIA's own scale. The measured proportions above tell you more than the label.

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?
Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
