The Carat Standard

GIA report 2235908842

1.04 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

93/100 · Signature

An unusually disciplined report profile.

What reads well

  • The GIA Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • E color is in the colorless range.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
  • Medium to slightly thick girdle balances durability and weight retention.

What deserves a closer look

  • The report notes surface graining; these can soften transparency in some stones.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Can I see this stone in soft daylight away from store spotlights to verify its sparkle?
  • Does the sparkle look bright and even all the way out to the edges?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
