The Carat Standard

GIA report 6531106257

2.01 ct Oval Diamond

76/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • A 1.36:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic oval range.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Confirm this SI1 oval is eye-clean from an image or video; the report plot shows where inclusions sit.
  • A 67.3% depth is on the deep side for an oval; deeper pavilions are associated with a stronger bow-tie and hidden weight.
  • Very thick to extremely thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size.
  • 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.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 57%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for an oval, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look
67.3% is deeper than typical for an oval (58–63.5%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests and may show a stronger bow-tie.
Length-to-width · Ideal
A 1.36:1 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 to extremely 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
J may show slight warmth at the tips of an oval, especially next to white metal. Yellow or rose gold tends to complement it.
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.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 67.3% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 2.01 ct oval?
  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
  • Is this SI1 diamond eye-clean face-up from about 10 inches away?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
