Actual diamond size
Before purchasing a diamond, one should make sure it looks its weight.
It's important to understand that
carat weight does not equal face-up size.
Two diamonds of exactly the same weight (and shape) can vary quite considerably in face-up size. This depends on the proportions of the cut (e.g., deep cuts will face up smaller).

Face-up area is a measure of the size of the diamond
when viewed from the top (as set in a ring).
It tells you how big the diamond is at the girdle plane. It's important for a diamond to have sufficient face-up size for its carat weight.

Depth percentage for 2.25 carat Pear (11.85×7.14×4.36mm)
Depth percentage of Pear cut is the ratio of the total depth (measured from table to culet)
to its width. The total depth percentage of this diamond
is 61.1%, which is OK.
(Recommended depth percentage for Pears is between 59% and
65%)
Depth percentage for pears is calculated with the following formula:

About Depth Percentage
Depth percentage is one of the most important measurements as it plays a critical role in diamond's
appearance. If a diamond is cut too deep or too shallow, light leaks out, making
the stone less brilliant and fiery. Deep cuts also add hidden weight.
Diamonds that fall out of recommended depth range are generally less desirable and usually best to be avoided.

Face-up size evaluation for 2.25 carat Pear (11.85×7.14×4.36mm)
The face-up size of this 2.25 carat Pear
(11.85×7.14×4.36mm) is within the normal range for
2.25ct diamonds of this shape.
Compared to 2.25ct
Pear reference diamond (see below), this diamond is of adequate
size when viewed from the top. In short, all is OK, this diamond looks its weight.
Proper face-up size should play an important role when buying a diamond. When a diamond is set in a ring, your eyes will only see the face-up area, so you should make sure it's of adequate size. Adequate size also indicates a good cut, meaning better light performance. For example, if given a choice between a poorly cut 2.3 carat Pear with less sparkle and the same face-up size as a well cut 2ct Pear, which one would you choose?
The importance of face-up size
Diamonds are sold by weight (carats), but it's important to understand that weight doesn't equally translate into physical size, especially spread. Two diamonds of the same carat weight can vary greatly in spread, meaning that one diamond can appear larger than the other, even though they weight exactly the same.Proper face-up size should play an important role when buying a diamond.

The bottom line:
A diamond must look its weight. This one does. Thumbs up.
2.25 carat Pear reference diamond
Since there are no specific ideal proportions defined for Pear cuts,
an estimation formula is used to calculate the Pear reference diamond.

Note: Pear diamonds with face-up area of within 9% lower
and 12% higher than reference Pear diamond area
are considered to be of adequate face-up size.
* Estimated Face-up area: Face-up area of Pear cuts
is only an estimation (±4%). Due to uniqueness of each stone,
it's impossible to accurately calculate face-up area given only a diamond's measurements.

Face-up Area per Carat
Face-up area per carat is calculated by dividing face-up area of the diamond with
its carat weight. It tells you how many square millimeters of the top surface area
a diamond is showing or would show for 1 carat weight. This can be useful when comparing stones
of similar weights as it tells you how much spread per carat you will get.
Note: Face-up size does not linearly grow with carat weight,
which means the heavier the stone, the smaller its face-up area per carat (e.g., 1ct stone will have
higher face-up area per carat than 2ct stone).
Face-up area per carat
for 2.25ct Pear (11.85×7.14×4.36mm):
Top surface area = 61.76 mm²
Weight = 2.25ct
Face-up area per carat = 61.76 ÷ 2.25 = 27.45mm²/ct
Weight = 2.25ct
Face-up area per carat = 61.76 ÷ 2.25 = 27.45mm²/ct
Face-up area per carat
for 2.25ct Emerald (8.76×6.49×4.22mm):
Top surface area = 54.01 mm²
Weight = 2.25ct
Face-up area per carat = 54.01 ÷ 2.25 = 24mm²/ct
Weight = 2.25ct
Face-up area per carat = 54.01 ÷ 2.25 = 24mm²/ct
