3.00 ct Asscher Diamond

78/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

A 1.01:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic Asscher / square emerald range.
Face-up spread (7.85 × 7.74 mm) is typical or better for a 3.00 ct Asscher / square emerald.
No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

The table 70% sits outside the typical Asscher / square emerald range.
Very Good polish / Good symmetry is below the Excellent/Very Good standard and can soften sparkle.
Surface-reaching characteristics are listed (chip); check their position on the plot for durability.
Medium to extremely thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size.
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 · Closer look: A 70% table is larger than typical for an Asscher / square emerald (58–68%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Closer look: 74.1% is deeper than typical for an Asscher / square emerald (60–70%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
Length-to-width · Ideal: A 1.01:1 outline is within the classic 1–1.05:1 range for an Asscher / square emerald.
Polish · Favorable: Very Good polish is a fine result; the difference from Excellent is rarely visible without magnification.
Symmetry · Closer look: Good symmetry is below the grades most buyers target and can slightly soften crispness. Worth seeing the stone in person or on video.
Girdle · Closer look: Medium to extremely thick: 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 an Asscher / square emerald can show a hint of warmth at the corners.
Clarity · Ideal: VVS1: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

With 74.1% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct asscher?
Can you see straight through the center (windowing), or does it reflect clean steps?
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?
