GIA report 2436269987

3.00 ct Pear Diamond

58/100 · Investigate

The report asks for a more careful visual review.

What reads well

  • A 1.48:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic pear range.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • Medium blue fluorescence can make L color face up a touch whiter in daylight.

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.
  • A 65.9% depth is on the deep side for a pear; deeper pavilions are associated with a stronger bow-tie and hidden weight.
  • Surface-reaching characteristics are listed (cavity); check their position on the plot 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.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 62%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for a pear, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look
65.9% is deeper than typical for a pear (58–64%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests and may show a stronger bow-tie.
Length-to-width · Ideal
A 1.48:1 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 · Ideal
Excellent symmetry is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
Girdle · Closer look
Thin 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 · Closer look
L 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 · Favorable
Medium Blue fluorescence is rarely visible in normal lighting.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 65.9% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct pear?
  • 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?
