1.50 ct Asscher Diamond

78/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

A 1.02:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic Asscher / square emerald range.
Face-up spread (6.19 × 6.05 mm) is typical or better for a 1.50 ct Asscher / square emerald.
Table 66% and depth 69.7% fall in the typical Asscher / square emerald range.
Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

SI1 in an Asscher / square emerald: the open step-cut table makes inclusions easier to see. View an image or video of this exact stone.
Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
Thick to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
Feathers are listed: check the plot for any that reach the girdle or surface, which matters for durability.
Screening only: for this Asscher / square emerald, check images or video of the exact stone for the concentric "hall of mirrors", the windmill pattern at the corners and any see-through window.

Table · Ideal: At 66%, the table sits within the typical 58–68% range for an Asscher / square emerald, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Ideal: 69.7% is within the typical 60–70% range for an Asscher / square emerald, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Length-to-width · Ideal: A 1.02:1 outline is within the classic 1–1.05:1 range for an Asscher / square emerald.
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, 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: H is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings, though an Asscher / square emerald can show a hint of warmth at the corners.
Clarity · Closer look: SI1 in a step cut often shows inclusions through the open table. Confirm eye-cleanliness with images or video.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

Does the diamond look crisp and transparent in natural light, or is there any milky haze?
Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
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?
