GIA report 5265901

3.00 ct Pear Diamond

83/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

Good polish / Good symmetry is below the Excellent/Very Good standard and can soften sparkle.
A 65.9% depth is on the deep side for a pear; deeper pavilions are associated with a stronger bow-tie and hidden weight.
Medium to extremely thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size.
Screening only: for this pear, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie, even shoulders and a point that lines up with the centre of the rounded end.

Table · Ideal: At 56%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for a pear, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look: 65.9% is deeper than typical for a pear (58–64%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests and may show a stronger bow-tie.
Length-to-width · Ideal: A 1.52:1 outline is within the classic 1.45–1.75:1 range for a pear.
Polish · Closer look: Good polish is below the grades most buyers target and can slightly soften crispness. Worth seeing the stone in person or on video.
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, faceted: 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 · Ideal: D is in the colorless range and faces up white in any metal.
Clarity · Ideal: Internally Flawless (IF): inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

With 65.9% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct pear?
In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
Will the ring setting use a protective V-tip prong or bezel to safeguard the delicate point?
Can you confirm the stone's weight and measurements match the GIA report before it is set?
