The Carat Standard

GIA report 2171885988

5.00 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

93/100 · Signature

An unusually disciplined report profile.

What reads well

  • Crown 35.5° 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.
  • G color should face up white in most settings.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.

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 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?
