Hi! I'm Gillian, a GIA Gemologist for the Rare Carat team. Thanks for reaching out.

I read the GIA Report for the following diamond: GIA 5131724721 Round 1.75 CT H VS1. I rejected this diamond due to the age of the GIA certificate and the quality of the diamond's cut.

I learned that GIA wrote the report for this diamond in 2011. I suggest asking the retailer to send it back to GIA for an updated report. Or take the diamond to a reliable local appraiser to ensure that the diamond is still the same.

The diamond's cut grade is Very Good, which, ironically enough, isn't good. At Rare Carat, we recommend the highest cut grade from GIA's 4Cs - Excellent. That way, you get light and sparkle in every direction.

Think of GIA cut grades as letter grades. Excellent is A, Very Good is B, Good is C, Fair is D, and Poor is F. To ensure you have the fire, sparkle, and scintillation you're looking for, you need to stay at Excellent.

The crown angles, the entire area above the girdle, are pretty lean. The crown is flatter than an ideally cut round, so the facets do not reflect the light to the eye. The depth is also a touch low.

This diamond has a VS1 grade for clarity - this grade shouldn't concern eye-visible inclusions. The diamond's clarity is based on a small cloud (a group of microscopic crystals). I don't see an image here. My recommendation is to see an actual photo or get an unbiased opinion from your retailer.

I recommend finding another diamond with a better cut. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

You’ve selected a round diamond, like 0% of our users. Learn more about what to look for in round diamonds here.

Cut is the most important factor. When an experienced gemologist picks up a diamond grading report, their eyes go to very specific values. They are looking to see if these fall within the desired ranges. Seemingly unimportant values like the depth percentage have a large effect on how your diamond will sparkle - and these values differ for each shape.

Follow the checklist prepared by our gemologists to see how your diamond fares. If it misses by a little bit on one or two, that’s fine, but we recommend trying to find a stone that passes on all:

Your diamond is graded H color (Near Colorless), and you can read more about H color diamonds here.

Color is graded beginning with D (Colorless). Learn more about diamond color here. The market prices colorless diamonds higher as they are rarer, but some people prefer warmer colored stones.

Your diamond is graded VS1 clarity, which stands for Very Slightly Included 1. Read more about VS1 clarity diamonds here, or learn more about diamond clarity in general here.

There are minimum clarities our gemologists prefer for each shape, but beyond that clarity is a matter of budget and preference. People typically aim for an eye clean stone. Also, our gemologists have certain deal-breakers when it comes to clarity. For example, our gemologists always avoid stones with a cavity, because with one wrong hit your diamond can crack.

Use the checklist below to ensure your diamond passes. Consult us before purchasing to see if any other nuanced issues are present:
