3.00 ct Cushion Diamond
81/100 · Considered
A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.
What reads well
- A 1.00:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic cushion range.
- Table 59% and depth 67.9% fall in the typical cushion range.
- Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
- VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in a cushion.
- No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
What deserves a closer look
- Face-up area is about 17% below typical cushions of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
- 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).
- I color in a 3.00 ct cushion may show some warmth, especially at the corners.
- Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a cushion can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.
What to check on the exact stone
- Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
- Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
- Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
- Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
