GIA report 2225057920

1.50 ct Cushion Diamond

84/100 · Refined

A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.

What reads well

  • A 1.23:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic cushion range.
  • Face-up spread (7.50 × 6.11 mm) is typical or better for a 1.50 ct cushion.
  • VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in a cushion.

What deserves a closer look

  • The table 68% sits outside the typical cushion range.
  • Medium to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
  • H color in a 1.50 ct cushion may show some warmth, especially at the corners.
  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a cushion can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
  • Can I view this stone in daylight to see if the blue fluorescence helps it look whiter?
  • Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
