3.00 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

What reads well

• The GIA Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
• Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
• H color in a round brilliant usually faces up near-colorless once set.
• Medium to slightly thick girdle balances durability and weight retention.

What deserves a closer look

• Crown 36.5° / pavilion 41° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
• Depth 63.7% sits outside the preferred round range.
• Surface-reaching characteristics are listed (etch channel); check their position on the plot for durability.
• The report notes surface graining and internal graining; these can soften transparency in some stones.
• Strong blue fluorescence: view the stone in daylight to confirm it is not hazy.

What to check on the exact stone

• Does the steep crown give lively fire without making the center look darker?
• With 63.7% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct round?
• Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
• Is this VS2 diamond eye-clean face-up from about 10 inches away?
