Distinctive trade-offs that should be viewed deliberately.

What reads well

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: for this pear, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie, even shoulders and a point that lines up with the centre of the rounded end.

Table · Ideal: At 63%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for a pear, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Ideal: 62.7% is within the typical 58–64% range for a pear, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Length-to-width · Ideal: A 1.6:1 outline is within the classic 1.45–1.75:1 range for a pear.
Polish · Ideal: Excellent polish is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
Symmetry · Favorable: Very Good symmetry is a fine result; the difference from Excellent is rarely visible without magnification.
Girdle · Closer look: Slightly thick to very thick, faceted: a thick girdle carries weight in the rim, so the stone can face up a little smaller for its carat weight. It is durable, though.
Culet · Ideal: None: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Favorable: J may show slight warmth at the point of a pear, especially next to white metal. Yellow or rose gold tends to complement it.
Clarity · Closer look: SI2: inclusions may be visible to the eye. Confirm with images or video before buying.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

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?
In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
