The Carat Standard

GIA report 2427760401

2.00 ct Oval Diamond

76/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • Face-up spread (10.74 × 6.85 mm) is typical or better for a 2.00 ct oval.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • A 1.57:1 length-to-width ratio is outside the classic oval range; the outline will look more elongated than typical.
  • The table 65% sits outside the typical oval range.
  • Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
  • Confirm this SI1 oval is eye-clean from an image or video; the report plot shows where inclusions sit.
  • Screening only: for this oval, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie (a dark band across the centre) and whether both ends look even.

The reading, field by field

Table · Closer look
A 65% table is larger than typical for an oval (53–63%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Ideal
60.2% is within the typical 58–63.5% range for an oval, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Length-to-width · Favorable
A 1.57:1 outline is longer and slimmer than the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an oval — a matter of taste, but worth seeing in person.
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
Thin to extremely 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 · Closer look
K shows visible warmth. It suits buyers who like a softer, warmer look, and pairs best with yellow or rose gold.
Clarity · Favorable
SI1 is often eye-clean in an oval, but not always — check where the inclusions sit.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Does the diamond look crisp and transparent in natural light, or is there any milky haze?
  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
