The Carat Standard

GIA report 2235711831

4.00 ct Pear Diamond

64/100 · Character

Distinctive trade-offs that should be viewed deliberately.

What reads well

  • A 1.60:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic pear range.
  • Table 63% and depth 62.7% fall in the typical pear range.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • SI2 is often not eye-clean in a pear; view an image or video of this exact stone.
  • Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
  • Slightly thick to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
  • Feathers are listed: check the plot for any that reach the girdle or surface, which matters for durability.
  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a pear can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
  • Is this SI2 diamond eye-clean face-up from about 10 inches away?
  • Will the ring setting use a protective V-tip prong or bezel to safeguard the delicate point?
  • Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
