  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • D color is in the colorless range.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 57%, the table sits within the typical 53–59% range for a round brilliant, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Ideal
62.3% 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
35° sits in the 32–36° zone where crown angles typically balance fire and brightness.
Pavilion angle · Ideal
41.2° 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
Thin to slightly thick, faceted, 3.5%: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal
None: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Ideal
D is in the colorless range and faces up white in any metal.
Clarity · Ideal
VVS1: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
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.

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?
  • Can you confirm the stone's weight and measurements match the GIA report before it is set?
