The Carat Standard

GIA report 6525543930

1.20 ct Emerald Diamond

76/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • A 1.40:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic emerald cut range.
  • G color should face up white in most settings.

What deserves a closer look

  • SI1 in an emerald cut: the open step-cut table makes inclusions easier to see. 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 14% below typical emerald cuts of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
  • Medium yellow fluorescence can make the stone look warmer in daylight.
  • Screening only: windowing, contrast and the step-cut "hall of mirrors" pattern in an emerald cut can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 69.6% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 1.20 ct emerald?
  • Does the diamond look crisp and transparent in natural light, or is there any milky haze?
  • With open step facets, is the center completely eye-clean without any visible dark marks?
  • With Very Good symmetry, are any facet junctions visibly misaligned?
