The Carat Standard

GIA report 5516012384

2.00 ct Oval Diamond

81/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • A 1.34:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic oval range.
  • Face-up spread (9.53 × 7.10 mm) is typical or better for a 2.00 ct oval.
  • F color is in the colorless range.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Confirm this SI1 oval is eye-clean from an image or video; the report plot shows where inclusions sit.
  • Good polish / Very Good symmetry is below the Excellent/Very Good standard and can soften sparkle.
  • A 64.9% depth is on the deep side for an oval; deeper pavilions are associated with a stronger bow-tie and hidden weight.
  • Medium to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in an oval can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 64.9% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 2.00 ct oval?
  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
  • Is this SI1 diamond eye-clean face-up from about 10 inches away?
  • How dark is the bow-tie shadow across the center when viewed in normal daylight?
