GIA report 6425203205

3.00 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

90/100 · Refined

A strong, composed candidate on paper.

What reads well

Table · Closer look: A 60% 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 · Ideal: 60.3% is within the typical 59.5–63% range for a round brilliant, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Crown angle · Ideal: 32° sits in the 32–36° zone where crown angles typically balance fire and brightness.
Pavilion angle · Closer look: 41.4° is steeper than the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone. Deep pavilions can leak light through the sides and darken the center.
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: Medium to slightly thick, faceted, 4.0%: 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, especially next to white metal. Yellow or rose gold tends to complement it.
Clarity · Favorable: VS2 is typically eye-clean.
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.

Does the center turn dark or lose sparkle when you tilt the diamond face-up?
Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
