3.00 ct Cushion Diamond

What reads well

• A 1.00:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic cushion range.
• Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
• No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

• Medium to extremely thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size.
• J color in a 3.00 ct cushion may show some warmth, especially at the corners.
• The report notes surface graining; these can soften transparency in some stones.
• Screening only: for this cushion, check images or video of the exact stone for the facet pattern (bold, chunky flashes or finer "crushed ice") and any dark areas under the table.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal

At 64%, the table sits within the typical 56–66% range for a cushion, balancing brightness with fire.

Total depth · Closer look

69.4% is deeper than typical for a cushion (61–69%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.

Length-to-width · Ideal

A 1:1 outline is within the classic 1–1.35:1 range for a cushion.

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 · Closer look

Medium to extremely thick, faceted: a thick girdle carries weight in the rim, so the stone can face up a little smaller for its carat weight. It is durable, though.

Culet · Ideal

None: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.

Color · Favorable

J may show slight warmth, especially next to white metal. Yellow or rose gold tends to complement it.

Clarity · Favorable

VS2 is typically eye-clean.

Fluorescence · Ideal

None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

What to check on the exact stone

• With 69.4% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct cushion?
• Does the diamond look crisp and transparent in natural light, or is there any milky haze?
• Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
• Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
