3.00 ct Cushion Diamond

What reads well

• A 1.02:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic cushion range.
• Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
• G color should face up white in most settings.
• VVS1 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.

What deserves a closer look

• Face-up area is about 20% below typical cushions of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
• 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: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a cushion can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

• With 69.5% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct cushion?
• Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
• Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
• Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
