1.33 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

82/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • The IGI Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • I color in a round brilliant usually faces up near-colorless once set.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
  • Medium to slightly thick girdle balances durability and weight retention.

What deserves a closer look

  • SI2 is often not eye-clean in a round brilliant; view an image or video of this exact stone.
  • Crown 36.2° / pavilion 41.2° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.

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
63% 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 · Closer look
A 36.2° crown is steeper than the typical 32–36° zone. Steep crowns can add fire, but only pair well with a slightly shallower pavilion.
Pavilion angle · Ideal
41.2° is inside the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone where the pavilion returns light most efficiently.
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
Medium to slightly thick (faceted): a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal
Pointed: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Favorable
I may show slight warmth, especially next to white metal. Yellow or rose gold tends to complement it.
Clarity · Closer look
SI2: inclusions may be visible to the eye. Confirm with images or video before buying.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.
Cut grade · Ideal
Excellent as issued by IGI, on IGI's own scale. The measured proportions above tell you more than the label.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the steep crown give lively fire without making the center look darker?
  • Is this SI2 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?
