The Carat Standard

GIA report 6535865834

1.25 ct Oval Diamond

88/100 · Refined

A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.

What reads well

  • A 1.43:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic oval range.
  • Face-up spread (8.70 × 6.09 mm) is typical or better for a 1.25 ct oval.
  • Table 61% and depth 61.8% fall in the typical oval range.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • The report notes internal graining; these can soften transparency in some stones.
  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in an oval can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
  • How dark is the bow-tie shadow across the center when viewed in normal daylight?
  • With Very Good symmetry, are any facet junctions visibly misaligned?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
