The Carat Standard

GIA report 6234114093

4.00 ct Cushion Diamond

67/100 · Character

Distinctive trade-offs that should be viewed deliberately.

What reads well

  • A 1.03:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic cushion range.
  • Table 63% and depth 68.2% fall in the typical cushion range.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • SI2 is often not eye-clean in a cushion; 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 19% below typical cushions of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
  • Thick to extremely thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size.
  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a cushion can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

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?
  • Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
  • Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
