3.00 ct Cushion Diamond
76/100 · Considered
A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.
What reads well
- A 1.01:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic cushion range.
- Face-up spread (7.99 × 7.95 mm) is typical or better for a 3.00 ct cushion.
- Table 56% and depth 68.5% fall in the typical cushion range.
- Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
- D color is in the colorless range.
What deserves a closer look
- SI2 is often not eye-clean in a cushion; view an image or video of this exact stone.
- Screening only: for this cushion, check images or video of the exact stone for the facet pattern (bold, chunky flashes or finer "crushed ice") and any dark areas under the table.
The reading, field by field
- Table · Ideal
- At 56%, the table sits within the typical 56–66% range for a cushion, balancing brightness with fire.
- Total depth · Ideal
- 68.5% is within the typical 61–69% range for a cushion, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
- Length-to-width · Ideal
- A 1.01:1 outline is within the classic 1–1.35:1 range for a cushion.
- Polish · Ideal
- Excellent polish is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
- Symmetry · Ideal
- Excellent symmetry is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
- Girdle · Ideal
- Slightly thick to thick, faceted: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
- 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 · Closer look
- SI2: inclusions may be visible to the eye. Confirm with images or video before buying.
- Fluorescence · Favorable
- Medium Blue fluorescence is rarely visible in normal lighting.
What to check on the exact stone
- Is this SI2 diamond eye-clean face-up from about 10 inches away?
- Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
- Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
