5.00 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

What reads well

• D color is in the colorless range.
• VVS1 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
• No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

• The GIA cut grade is Good: the lab's own assessment points to less brightness and fire than its top tier.
• Crown 37.5° / pavilion 40.8° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
• Depth 65.7% sits outside the preferred round range.
• Very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size.
• The diameter is small for 5.00 ct: weight is carried below the girdle rather than face-up.

What to check on the exact stone

• Does the steep crown give lively fire without making the center look darker?
• With 65.7% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 5.00 ct round?
• Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
• Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
