65/100 · Character

Distinctive trade-offs that should be viewed deliberately.

What reads well

SI2 is often not eye-clean in a round brilliant; view an image or video of this exact stone.
Crown 35.5° / pavilion 41.2° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
Surface-reaching characteristics are listed (cavity); check their position on the plot for durability.
Feathers are listed: check the plot for any that reach the girdle or surface, which matters for durability.

Table · Closer look: A 60% table is larger than typical for a round brilliant (53–59%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Ideal: 61.9% is within the typical 59.5–63% range for a round brilliant, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Crown angle · Ideal: 35.5° sits in the 32–36° zone where crown angles typically balance fire and brightness.
Pavilion angle · Ideal: 41.2° is inside the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone where the pavilion returns light most efficiently.
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 · Ideal: Medium to slightly thick, faceted, 4.0%: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal: None: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Favorable: H is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings.
Clarity · Closer look: SI2: inclusions may be visible to the eye. Confirm with images or video before buying.
Fluorescence · Ideal: Faint: no meaningful effect on appearance.
Cut grade · Ideal: Excellent as issued by GIA, on GIA's own scale. The measured proportions above tell you more than the label.

Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
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?
Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
