The Carat Standard

GIA report 7523858144

2.00 ct Cushion Diamond

80/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • A 1.06:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic cushion range.
  • VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in a cushion.
  • Faint fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Face-up area is about 19% below typical cushions of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
  • Slightly thick to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
  • I color in a 2.00 ct cushion may show some warmth, especially at the corners.
  • 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 69.3% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 2.00 ct cushion?
  • 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?
  • With Very Good symmetry, are any facet junctions visibly misaligned?
