The Carat Standard

GIA report 5232510076

4.00 ct Emerald Diamond

79/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • A 1.39:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic emerald cut range.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Face-up area is about 12% below typical emerald cuts of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
  • K color in a 4.00 ct emerald cut may show some warmth, especially at the corners.
  • Screening only: windowing, contrast and the step-cut "hall of mirrors" pattern in an emerald cut can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • 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?
  • With open step facets, is the center completely eye-clean without any visible dark marks?
  • With Very Good symmetry, are any facet junctions visibly misaligned?
