Carat is a measure of weight, while the millimetre dimensions tell you more about how large the diamond faces up and how the setting must be engineered. This stone measures 8.69 × 5.62 × 3.55 mm, so those actual dimensions can guide claw position, halo spacing, bezel size and setting clearances. At one carat or above, it can be treated as a prominent centre stone for a solitaire, halo, cathedral, three-stone or statement pendant design.

G sits in the near-colourless G–J range. Any warmth can be subtle and will vary with lighting, cut, surrounding metal and side stones, so the finished design should be considered as a whole.

SI1 sits in the Slightly Included clarity range. Whether inclusions are visible without magnification depends on their size, relief, type and location as well as the diamond’s shape, so image/video or gemologist review is particularly useful. Ask our Graduate Gemologist (GIA) if you would like an opinion on whether this exact diamond appears eye-clean in normal viewing.

For a Pear diamond, appearance should not be reduced to a Round Brilliant cut scale. Outline, facet pattern, contrast, length-to-width ratio, polish, symmetry and image/video assessment are important parts of the selection. Recorded finish: Polish EX · Symmetry VG.
