1.50 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

52/100 · Investigate

The report asks for a more careful visual review.

What reads well

  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • SI2 is often not eye-clean in a round brilliant; view an image or video of this exact stone.
  • The GIA cut grade is Good: the lab's own assessment points to less brightness and fire than its top tier.
  • Crown 38.5° / pavilion 40° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
  • Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
  • Depth 66.3% sits outside the preferred round range.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 56%, the table sits within the typical 53–59% range for a round brilliant, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look
66.3% is deeper than typical for a round brilliant (59.5–63%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
Crown angle · Closer look
A 38.5° crown is steeper than the typical 32–36° zone. Steep crowns can add fire, but only pair well with a slightly shallower pavilion.
Pavilion angle · Closer look
40° is shallower than the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone. Shallow pavilions can let light pass straight through, looking glassy.
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
Thick to very thick, faceted, 6.5%: 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 · Closer look
K shows visible warmth. It suits buyers who like a softer, warmer look, and pairs best with yellow or rose gold.
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.
Cut grade · Closer look
Good as issued by GIA, on GIA's own scale. The measured proportions above tell you more than the label.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does a gray ring or glassy patch show around the center when you look straight down?
  • With 66.3% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 1.50 ct round?
  • Does the diamond look crisp and transparent in natural light, or is there any milky haze?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
