GIA report 2528852532
1.50 ct Emerald Diamond
87/100 · Refined
A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.
What reads well
- A 1.34:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic emerald cut range.
- Face-up spread (7.26 × 5.43 mm) is typical or better for a 1.50 ct emerald cut.
- G color should face up white in most settings.
- No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
What deserves a closer look
- Surface-reaching characteristics are listed (cavity); check their position on the plot for durability.
- Thick to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
- The report notes internal graining; these can soften transparency in some stones.
- Screening only: for this emerald cut, check images or video of the exact stone for the "hall of mirrors" step pattern, any see-through window under the table and clean corners.
The reading, field by field
- Table · Ideal
- At 64%, the table sits within the typical 60–69% range for an emerald cut, balancing brightness with fire.
- Total depth · Closer look
- 69.3% is deeper than typical for an emerald cut (60–69%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
- Length-to-width · Ideal
- A 1.34:1 outline is within the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an emerald cut.
- Polish · Favorable
- Very Good polish is a fine result; the difference from Excellent is rarely visible without magnification.
- 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, polished: 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 · Favorable
- G is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings, though an emerald cut can show a hint of warmth at the corners.
- Clarity · Ideal
- VVS2: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
- Fluorescence · Ideal
- None: no meaningful effect on appearance.
What to check on the exact stone
- With 69.3% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 1.50 ct emerald?
- Is the surface opening protected by a prong, or could it catch lint and risk chipping?
- With open step facets, is the center completely eye-clean without any visible dark marks?
- Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
