The Carat Standard

GIA report 5265901

3.00 ct Pear Diamond

83/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • A 1.52:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic pear range.
  • Face-up spread (11.97 × 7.86 mm) is typical or better for a 3.00 ct pear.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • IF clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • 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: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a pear can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 65.9% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct pear?
  • Will the ring setting use a protective V-tip prong or bezel to safeguard the delicate point?
  • Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
  • With Good polish and Good symmetry, are there visible misaligned facets or wheel marks?
