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).
Here you can see the actual sizes of 7.54ct Cushion (11×10.5×6.2mm) and 5.91ct Emerald (13.26×9.35×5.62mm) as they would appear on a ring and finger.

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 7.54 carat Cushion (11×10.5×6.2mm)
Depth percentage of Cushion cut is the ratio of the total depth (measured from table to culet)
to its width. The total depth percentage of this diamond
is 59%, which is OK.
(Recommended depth percentage for Cushions is between 59% and
70%)
Depth percentage for cushions is calculated with the following formula:
Depth percentage for cushions 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 7.54 carat Cushion (11×10.5×6.2mm)
The face-up size of this 7.54 carat Cushion
(11×10.5×6.2mm) is slightly out of normal range for
7.54ct diamonds of this shape. Compared to 7.54
carat Cushion reference diamond,
this diamond appears a bit too small when viewed from the top, which means it's
probably a borderline chubby.
A chubby is a diamond with hidden extra weight that looks smaller than it should when viewed from the top. Hidden weight is typically a result of a poor cut usually linked to oversized girdle, deeper pavilion, and/or steeper crown.
In order to maximize profits, diamond cutters tend to retain as much weight from the rough as possible. This practice, however, can have detrimental effects on the stone's face-up size and its optical qualities. Poorly proportioned stones look duller and sparkle less than well cut stones. Chubby stones also look smaller.

The bottom line:
One should never sacrifice beauty for weight.
You probably don't want to pay for extra weight that doesn't add anything to the beauty.
You want a stone that looks its weight. Sizewise, this 7.54ct Cushion looks like a well cut 6.28ct Cushion.
7.54 carat Cushion reference diamond
Since there are no specific ideal proportions defined for Cushion cuts,
an estimation formula is used to calculate the Cushion reference diamond.

|||||||||||||||||||
Note: Cushion diamonds with face-up area of within 9% lower
and 12% higher than reference Cushion diamond area
are considered to be of adequate face-up size.
* Estimated Face-up area: Face-up area of Cushion cuts
is only an estimation (±5%). Due to uniqueness of each stone,
it's impossible to accurately calculate face-up area given only a diamond's measurements.

Face-up size evaluation for 5.91 carat Emerald (13.26×9.35×5.62mm)
The face-up size of this 5.91 carat Emerald
(13.26×9.35×5.62mm) is out of normal range for
5.91ct diamonds of this shape. Compared to 5.91
carat Emerald reference diamond, this diamond appears too big
when viewed from the top. You might think that's a good thing, however, it's not.
This is a so called spread cut.
A spread cut is a diamond that is cut to maximize spread instead of optimal light performance. If compared from above, it would look larger than a well cut 5.91ct Emerald. This is not a good thing. Spread cuts are typically too shallow, which allows light to leak out of the stone resulting in less light being reflected back to the viewer's eye.
Spread cuts usually look lifeless and flat, and can sometimes exhibit a fish-eye effect. They may also come with an extremely thin girdle which can easily chip.

The bottom line:
Spread cuts generally lack the brilliance and perfection that is
expected of a beautiful diamond. Don't be fooled into thinking that you're
getting a larger diamond for the money. This could be a rather flat, boring stone.

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 7.54ct Cushion (11×10.5×6.2mm):
Top surface area = 103.95 mm²
Weight = 7.54ct
Face-up area per carat = 103.95 ÷ 7.54 = 13.79mm²/ct
Weight = 7.54ct
Face-up area per carat = 103.95 ÷ 7.54 = 13.79mm²/ct
Face-up area per carat
for 5.91ct Emerald (13.26×9.35×5.62mm):
Top surface area = 117.78 mm²
Weight = 5.91ct
Face-up area per carat = 117.78 ÷ 5.91 = 19.93mm²/ct
Weight = 5.91ct
Face-up area per carat = 117.78 ÷ 5.91 = 19.93mm²/ct
