The Carat Standard

GIA report 6542635379

1.70 ct Pear Diamond

86/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • A 1.56:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic pear range.
  • Face-up spread (10.18 × 6.52 mm) is typical or better for a 1.70 ct pear.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
  • Thick to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
  • H color in a 1.70 ct pear may show some warmth, especially at the point.
  • Screening only: for this pear, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie, even shoulders and a point that lines up with the centre of the rounded end.

The reading, field by field

Table · Closer look
A 64% table is larger than typical for a pear (53–63%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Ideal
63% is within the typical 58–64% range for a pear, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Length-to-width · Ideal
A 1.56:1 outline is within the classic 1.45–1.75:1 range for a pear.
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
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 · Favorable
H is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings, though a pear can show a hint of warmth at the point.
Clarity · Favorable
VS2 is typically eye-clean.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Does the diamond look crisp and transparent in natural light, or is there any milky haze?
  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
