GIA report 7401869625

1.03 ct Oval Diamond

85/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • A 1.39:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic oval range.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • F color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS1 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.

What deserves a closer look

  • A 65.5% depth is on the deep side for an oval; deeper pavilions are associated with a stronger bow-tie and hidden weight.
  • Thick to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
  • Strong blue fluorescence in a F-color stone: a small share of such stones look hazy in sunlight. View it in daylight and neutral light.
  • 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.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 65.5% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 1.03 ct oval?
  • Does this F diamond show any milky haze when viewed outdoors in direct sunlight?
  • 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?
