The Carat Standard

GIA report 6243048110

0.90 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

92/100 · Signature

An unusually disciplined report profile.

What reads well

  • Crown 33° with pavilion 41° sits in the well-regarded pairing zone for brightness and fire.
  • The GIA Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • F color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS2 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.

What deserves a closer look

  • Table 62% sits outside the preferred round range.

The reading, field by field

Table · Closer look
A 62% table is larger than typical for a round brilliant (53–59%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Closer look
59.2% is shallower than typical for a round brilliant (59.5–63%). That spreads the stone face-up but raises the risk of windowing — a glassy, see-through center.
Crown angle · Ideal
33° sits in the 32–36° zone where crown angles typically balance fire and brightness.
Pavilion angle · Ideal
41° is inside the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone where the pavilion returns light most efficiently.
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, faceted, 3.5%: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal
None: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Ideal
F is in the colorless range and faces up white in any metal.
Clarity · Ideal
VVS2: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.
Cut grade · Ideal
Excellent as issued by GIA, on GIA's own scale. The measured proportions above tell you more than the label.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With a shallow 59.2% depth, can you see a glassy, see-through patch in the center?
  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Can I see this stone in soft daylight away from store spotlights to verify its sparkle?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
