2.50 ct Oval Diamond

83/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
Confirm this SI1 oval is eye-clean from an image or video; the report plot shows where inclusions sit.
Very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
Feathers are listed: check the plot for any that reach the girdle or surface, which matters for durability.
Screening only: for this oval, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie (a dark band across the centre) and whether both ends look even.

Table · Ideal: At 62%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for an oval, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Ideal: 63.4% is within the typical 58–63.5% range for an oval, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Length-to-width · Ideal: A 1.38:1 outline is within the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an oval.
Polish · Ideal: Excellent polish is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
Symmetry · Favorable: Very Good symmetry is a fine result; the difference from Excellent is rarely visible without magnification.
Girdle · Closer look: Very thick (faceted): a thick girdle carries weight in the rim, so the stone can face up a little smaller for its carat weight. It is durable, though.
Culet · Ideal: None: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Favorable: G is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings, though an oval can show a hint of warmth at the tips.
Clarity · Favorable: SI1 is often eye-clean in an oval, but not always — check where the inclusions sit.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

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?
In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
