The Carat Standard

GIA report 7556187836

1.00 ct Pear Diamond

88/100 · Refined

A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.

What reads well

  • A 1.56:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic pear range.
  • Face-up spread (8.52 × 5.47 mm) is typical or better for a 1.00 ct pear.
  • G color should face up white in most settings.
  • VS2 clarity is typically eye-clean in a pear.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • A 64.1% depth is on the deep side for a pear; deeper pavilions are associated with a stronger bow-tie and hidden weight.
  • Medium 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: for this pear, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie, even shoulders and a point that lines up with the centre of the rounded end.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 62%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for a pear, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look
64.1% is deeper than typical for a pear (58–64%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests and may show a stronger bow-tie.
Length-to-width · Ideal
A 1.56:1 outline is within the classic 1.45–1.75:1 range for a pear.
Polish · Ideal
Excellent polish is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
Symmetry · Favorable
Very Good symmetry is a fine result; the difference from Excellent is rarely visible without magnification.
Girdle · Closer look
Medium to very 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
G is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings, though a pear can show a hint of warmth at the point.
Clarity · Favorable
VS2 is typically eye-clean.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 64.1% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 1.00 ct pear?
  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
  • Is this VS2 diamond eye-clean face-up from about 10 inches away?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
