3.00 ct Princess Diamond

What reads well

• A 1.01:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic princess range.
• Face-up spread (7.78 × 7.74 mm) is typical or better for a 3.00 ct princess.
• Table 69% and depth 74.7% fall in the typical princess range.
• No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

• Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
• Confirm this SI1 princess is eye-clean from an image or video; the report plot shows where inclusions sit.
• Excellent polish / Good symmetry is below the Excellent/Very Good standard and can soften sparkle.
• Surface-reaching characteristics are listed (cavity); check their position on the plot for durability.
• Screening only: for this princess, check images or video of the exact stone for dark areas across the corners or a see-through centre.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal

At 69%, the table sits within the typical 63–74% range for a princess, balancing brightness with fire.

Total depth · Ideal

74.7% is within the typical 64–75% range for a princess, 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 1–1.05:1 range for a princess.

Polish · Ideal

Excellent polish is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.

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

Slightly thick to very thick, polished: 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 · Favorable

J may show slight warmth, especially next to white metal. Yellow or rose gold tends to complement it.

Clarity · Favorable

SI1 is often eye-clean in a princess, but not always — check where the inclusions sit.

Fluorescence · Ideal

None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

What to check on the exact stone

• 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?
• Is the surface opening protected by a prong, or could it catch lint and risk chipping?
• Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
