1.50 ct Asscher Diamond

77/100 · 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.
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.
Face-up area is about 13% below typical Asscher / square emeralds of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
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: windowing, contrast and the step-cut "hall of mirrors" pattern in an Asscher / square emerald can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

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?
Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
