GIA report 6521682089

3.00 ct Cushion Diamond

58/100 · Investigate

The report asks for a more careful visual review.

What reads well

  • A 1.05:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic cushion range.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • 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 16% below typical cushions of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
  • Surface-reaching characteristics are listed (cavity); check their position on the plot for durability.
  • 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

  • With 69.4% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct cushion?
  • 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?
  • Is the surface opening protected by a prong, or could it catch lint and risk chipping?
