1.25 ct Oval Diamond

87/100 · Refined

A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.

What reads well

Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
I color in a 1.25 ct oval may show some warmth, especially at the tips.
Screening only: for this oval, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie (a dark band across the centre) and whether both ends look even.

Table · Ideal: At 62%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for an oval, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Ideal: 63.3% is within the typical 58–63.5% range for an oval, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Length-to-width · Ideal: A 1.4:1 outline is within the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an oval.
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 · Favorable: I may show slight warmth at the tips of an oval, especially next to white metal. Yellow or rose gold tends to complement it.
Clarity · Favorable: VS1 is typically eye-clean.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

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?
In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
