The Carat Standard

GIA report 7443188320

3.00 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

86/100 · Refined

A strong, composed candidate on paper.

What reads well

  • The GIA Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • VVS1 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • I color in a round brilliant usually faces up near-colorless once set.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Crown 33° / pavilion 41.6° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
  • Table 62% sits outside the preferred round range.
  • I color can show slight warmth in some settings, more so in white metal.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the center turn dark or lose sparkle when you tilt the diamond face-up?
  • With a shallow 59.3% depth, can you see a glassy, see-through patch in the center?
  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
