1.50 ct Oval Diamond

90/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • A 1.48:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic oval range.
  • Face-up spread (9.38 × 6.33 mm) is typical or better for a 1.50 ct oval.
  • Table 62% and depth 61.3% fall in the typical oval range.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • VS2 clarity is typically eye-clean in an oval.

What deserves a closer look

  • Slightly thick to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
  • 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 62%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for an oval, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Ideal
61.3% is within the typical 58–63.5% range for an oval, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Length-to-width · Ideal
A 1.48:1 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
Slightly thick to very 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 · Ideal
D is in the colorless range and faces up white in any metal.
Clarity · Favorable
VS2 is typically eye-clean.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
  • Is this VS2 diamond eye-clean face-up from about 10 inches away?
  • In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
