The Carat Standard

GIA report 6542718415

3.00 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

69/100 · Character

Distinctive trade-offs that should be viewed deliberately.

What reads well

  • Crown 36° with pavilion 40.8° sits in the well-regarded pairing zone for brightness and fire.
  • Table 58% and depth 62.5% are within the classic round brilliant range.
  • The GIA Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • H color in a round brilliant usually faces up near-colorless once set.

What deserves a closer look

  • SI2 is often not eye-clean in a round brilliant; view an image or video of this exact stone.
  • Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
  • Feathers are listed: check the plot for any that reach the girdle or surface, which matters for durability.
  • The report notes twinning wisps and surface graining; these can soften transparency in some stones.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Can I see this stone in soft daylight away from store spotlights to verify its sparkle?
  • Does the sparkle look bright and even all the way out to the edges?
  • 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?
