The Carat Standard

GIA report 2526009104

1.50 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

51/100 · Investigate

The report asks for a more careful visual review.

What reads well

  • VVS2 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • I color in a round brilliant usually faces up near-colorless once set.
  • Faint fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • The GIA cut grade is Good: the lab's own assessment points to less brightness and fire than its top tier.
  • Crown 40° / pavilion 39.6° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
  • Depth 66.6% sits outside the preferred round range.
  • Very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size.
  • The diameter is small for 1.50 ct: weight is carried below the girdle rather than face-up.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does a gray ring or glassy patch show around the center when you look straight down?
  • With 66.6% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 1.50 ct round?
  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
  • Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
