The Carat Standard

GIA report 6425203205

3.00 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

90/100 · Refined

A strong, composed candidate on paper.

What reads well

  • The GIA Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • VS2 clarity is typically eye-clean in a round brilliant.
  • I color in a round brilliant usually faces up near-colorless once set.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • I color can show slight warmth in some settings, more so in white metal.

What to check on the exact stone

  • 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?
  • Is this VS2 diamond eye-clean face-up from about 10 inches away?
