77/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

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.
Medium yellow fluorescence can make the stone look warmer in daylight.
The report notes surface graining; these can soften transparency in some stones.
Screening only: for this emerald cut, check images or video of the exact stone for the "hall of mirrors" step pattern, any see-through window under the table and clean corners.

Table · Ideal: At 61%, the table sits within the typical 60–69% range for an emerald cut, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look: 69.6% is deeper than typical for an emerald cut (60–69%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
Length-to-width · Ideal: A 1.4:1 outline is within the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an emerald cut.
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 · Ideal: Slightly thick to thick, polished: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
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 emerald cut can show a hint of warmth at the corners.
Clarity · Closer look: SI1 in a step cut often shows inclusions through the open table. Confirm eye-cleanliness with images or video.
Fluorescence · Closer look: Medium Yellow fluorescence can make the stone look slightly warmer in daylight.
