GIA report 7532283442

2.33 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

82/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • Table 59% and depth 61.5% are within the classic round brilliant range.
  • The GIA Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • Faint fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
  • Slightly thick girdle balances durability and weight retention.

What deserves a closer look

  • Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
  • Confirm this SI1 round brilliant is eye-clean from an image or video; the report plot shows where inclusions sit.
  • L color shows a visible warm tint face-up; yellow or rose gold settings make it less noticeable.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 59%, the table sits within the typical 53–59% range for a round brilliant, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Ideal
61.5% is within the typical 59.5–63% range for a round brilliant, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Crown angle · Ideal
33° sits in the 32–36° zone where crown angles typically balance fire and brightness.
Pavilion angle · Closer look
41.4° is steeper than the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone. Deep pavilions can leak light through the sides and darken the center.
Polish · Ideal
Excellent polish is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
Symmetry · Ideal
Excellent symmetry is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
Girdle · Ideal
Slightly thick, faceted, 4.0%: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal
None: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Closer look
L shows visible warmth. It suits buyers who like a softer, warmer look, and pairs best with yellow or rose gold.
Clarity · Favorable
SI1 is often eye-clean in a round brilliant, but not always — check where the inclusions sit.
Fluorescence · Ideal
Faint: no meaningful effect on appearance.
Cut grade · Ideal
Excellent as issued by GIA, on GIA's own scale. The measured proportions above tell you more than the label.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the center turn dark or lose sparkle when you tilt the diamond face-up?
  • Does the diamond look crisp and transparent in natural light, or is there any milky haze?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
