The Carat Standard

GIA report 5201129767

3.00 ct Asscher Diamond

77/100 · 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.
  • G color should face up white in most settings.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • The table 70% sits outside the typical Asscher / square emerald range.
  • Face-up area is about 11% below typical Asscher / square emeralds of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
  • 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.
  • 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.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 74.1% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct square?
  • 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?
  • Is the surface opening protected by a prong, or could it catch lint and risk chipping?
