Hi! I have taken a look at the GIA graded Round you sent our way. I see it as a 1.28ct E SI2 with GIA #2205301086.

I would pass on this diamond for a few reasons. First is the cut grade of good as well as good symmetry. This means that there are major issues here that will cause a massive amount of light leakage. Also, the table and crown angles are outside of the ideal ranges. I recommend getting an excellent cut as well as at least very good for polish and symmetry as this will maximize the light return and brilliance. It will also remove these red flags in the proportions.

There is also a cavity inclusion here. This is a hole on the surface of the stone from a crystal inclusion that fell out, usually during the polishing process. This hole can get larger with the right amount of force as well as fill with dirt becoming more visible. To avoid any future headaches, I would avoid this inclusion.

Otherwise, the E color will be super white!

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:

	Target	Diamond
Cut	Excellent	Good
Symmetry	Very Good or better	Good
Polish	Very Good or better	Very Good
Girdle Percentage	2.5% - 4%	4.5% (close enough)
Girdle Thickness	Thin to Thick	Med. - Thick
Table	54% - 60%	62.0%
Depth	59% - 63%	62.3%
Crown Angle	33° - 35°	39.5°

Color

3/3

Your diamond is graded E color (Colorless), and you can read more about E 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.

Our gemologists check for following color issues before recommending a diamond:

	Target	Diamond
Color	K-D	E
Artificial Treatment	No	No
Fluorescence Color	None or Blue	None
Fluorescence Strength	Faint or less	Faint

Clarity

6/7

Your diamond is graded SI2 clarity, which stands for Slightly Included 2. Read more about SI2 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:

	Target	Diamond
Clarity	SI2 or above	SI2
Cavity	No	Yes
Chip	No	No
Knot	No	No
Laser Hole	No	No
Etch Channel	No	No
Patch	No	No
