The Carat Standard

GIA report 2235087177

4.00 ct Asscher Diamond

84/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • A 1.01:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic Asscher / square emerald range.
  • Table 65% and depth 68.5% fall in the typical Asscher / square emerald range.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS2 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Very Good polish / Good symmetry is below the Excellent/Very Good standard and can soften sparkle.
  • Screening only: windowing, contrast and the step-cut "hall of mirrors" pattern in an Asscher / square emerald can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With open step facets, is the center completely eye-clean without any visible dark marks?
  • With Very Good polish and Good symmetry, are there visible misaligned facets or wheel marks?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
