GIA report 6217976856

5.00 ct Emerald Diamond

50/100 · Investigate

The report asks for a more careful visual review.

What reads well

  • A 1.33:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic emerald cut range.
  • Medium blue fluorescence can make J color face up a touch whiter in daylight.

What deserves a closer look

  • SI2 in an emerald cut: the open step-cut table makes inclusions easier to see. View an image or video of this exact stone.
  • Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
  • Face-up area is about 13% below typical emerald cuts of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
  • Feathers are listed: check the plot for any that reach the girdle or surface, which matters for durability.
  • Screening only: windowing, contrast and the step-cut "hall of mirrors" pattern in an emerald cut can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 69.9% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 5.00 ct emerald?
  • 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?
  • Can I view this stone in daylight to see if the blue fluorescence helps it look whiter?
