The Carat Standard

GIA report 3555685363

5.00 ct Oval Diamond

75/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • A 1.38:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic oval range.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
  • Confirm this SI1 oval is eye-clean from an image or video; the report plot shows where inclusions sit.
  • A 64.7% depth is on the deep side for an oval; 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: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in an oval can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 64.7% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 5.00 ct oval?
  • 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?
  • How dark is the bow-tie shadow across the center when viewed in normal daylight?
