5.00 ct Oval Diamond

66/100 · Character

Distinctive trade-offs that should be viewed deliberately.

What reads well

  • A 1.40:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic oval range.
  • Face-up spread (14.04 × 10.02 mm) is typical or better for a 5.00 ct oval.
  • G color should face up white in most settings.

What deserves a closer look

  • Confirm this SI1 oval is eye-clean from an image or video; the report plot shows where inclusions sit.
  • A 51.2% depth is shallow for an oval; check images for a see-through window in the centre.
  • Feathers are listed: check the plot for any that reach the girdle or surface, which matters for durability.
  • G color in a 5.00 ct oval may show some warmth, especially at the tips.
  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in an oval can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With a shallow 51.2% depth, can you see a glassy, see-through patch in the center?
  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
  • Is this SI1 diamond eye-clean face-up from about 10 inches away?
  • How dark is the bow-tie shadow across the center when viewed in normal daylight?
