3.00 ct Asscher Laboratory-Grown Diamond

76/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

A 1.02:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic Asscher / square emerald range.
Face-up spread (7.81 × 7.64 mm) is typical or better for a 3.00 ct Asscher / square emerald.
Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
E color is in the colorless range.
VVS2 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.

A 71.3% depth is deep for a step cut: weight sits below the girdle and the stone faces up smaller.
A 74% table is very large for a step cut, which can flatten the hall-of-mirrors effect.
Screening only: for this Asscher / square emerald, check images or video of the exact stone for the concentric "hall of mirrors", the windmill pattern at the corners and any see-through window.
Treatment status is not stated on the report. For a laboratory-grown diamond, ask whether it is as-grown or post-growth treated.

Table · Closer look: A 74% table is larger than typical for an Asscher / square emerald (58–68%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Closer look: 71.3% is deeper than typical for an Asscher / square emerald (60–70%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
Length-to-width · Ideal: A 1.02:1 outline is within the classic 1–1.05:1 range for an Asscher / square emerald.
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: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal: Pointed: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Ideal: E is in the colorless range and faces up white in any metal.
Clarity · Ideal: VVS2: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

With 71.3% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct asscher?
Can you see straight through the center (windowing), or does it reflect clean steps?
With open step facets, is the center completely eye-clean without any visible dark marks?
Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
