The Carat Standard

GIA report 5436321245

3.00 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

72/100 · Character

Distinctive trade-offs that should be viewed deliberately.

What reads well

  • The GIA Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • H color in a round brilliant usually faces up near-colorless once set.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
  • Slightly thick girdle balances durability and weight retention.

What deserves a closer look

  • SI2 is often not eye-clean in a round brilliant; view an image or video of this exact stone.
  • Crown 33.5° / pavilion 41.6° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
  • Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
  • Table 61% sits outside the preferred round range.
  • Feathers are listed: check the plot for any that reach the girdle or surface, which matters for durability.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the center turn dark or lose sparkle when you tilt the diamond face-up?
  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Does the diamond look crisp and transparent in natural light, or is there any milky haze?
  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
