GIA report 2554937830
1.00 ct Pear Diamond
87/100 · Refined
A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.
What reads well
- A 1.62:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic pear range.
- Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
- G color should face up white in most settings.
- VVS2 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
What deserves a closer look
- A 65.1% depth is on the deep side for a pear; deeper pavilions are associated with a stronger bow-tie and hidden weight.
- Thick to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
- 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
- 65.1% 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 1.62:1 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
- Thick 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 · Favorable
- G is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings, though a pear can show a hint of warmth at the point.
- Clarity · Ideal
- VVS2: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
- Fluorescence · Favorable
- Medium Blue fluorescence is rarely visible in normal lighting.
What to check on the exact stone
- With 65.1% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 1.00 ct pear?
- In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
- Will the ring setting use a protective V-tip prong or bezel to safeguard the delicate point?
- Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
