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 7.61ct Radiant (11.39×10.58×6.77mm) and 7.01ct Round (12.88×12.97×6.86mm) 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 7.61 carat Radiant (11.39×10.58×6.77mm)
Depth percentage of Radiant cut is the ratio of the total depth (measured from table to culet)
to its width. The total depth percentage of this diamond
is 64%, which is OK.
(Recommended depth percentage for Radiants is between 59% and
70%)
Depth percentage for radiants is calculated with the following formula:
Depth percentage for radiants is calculated with the following formula:

Round
(12.88×12.97×6.86mm) depth %:

Average diameter = (12.88 + 12.97) ÷ 2 = 12.925 mm
Average diameter = (12.88 + 12.97) ÷ 2 = 12.925 mm
Depth % = (6.86 ÷ 12.925 ) × 100 = 53.1%
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 7.61 carat Radiant (11.39×10.58×6.77mm)
The face-up size of this 7.61 carat Radiant
(11.39×10.58×6.77mm) is within the normal range for
7.61ct diamonds of this shape.
Compared to 7.61ct
Radiant 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 7.6 carat Radiant with less sparkle and the same face-up size as a well cut 7.2ct Radiant, 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. 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 7.6 carat Radiant with less sparkle and the same face-up size as a well cut 7.2ct Radiant, which one would you choose?
The bottom line:
A diamond must look its weight. This one does. Thumbs up.
7.61 carat Radiant reference diamond
Since there are no specific ideal proportions defined for Radiant cuts,
an estimation formula is used to calculate the Radiant reference diamond.
|
|
Note: Radiant diamonds with face-up area of within 9% lower
and 12% higher than reference Radiant diamond area
are considered to be of adequate face-up size.
* Estimated Face-up area: Face-up area of Radiant 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 size evaluation for 7.01 carat Round (12.88×12.97×6.86mm)
The face-up size of this 7.01 carat Round
(12.88×12.97×6.86mm) is out of normal range for
7.01ct diamonds of this shape. Compared to 7.01
carat Round 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. From above it looks larger than an ideal 7.01ct diamond. 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.
7.01 carat Round reference diamond
7.01ct Round reference diamond is calculated from the following ideal proportions:

Note: Round diamonds with face-up area of within 5% lower
and 3% higher than reference Round diamond area
are considered to be of adequate face-up size.

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 7.61ct Radiant (11.39×10.58×6.77mm):
Top surface area = 114.48 mm²
Weight = 7.61ct
Face-up area per carat = 114.48 ÷ 7.61 = 15.04mm²/ct
Weight = 7.61ct
Face-up area per carat = 114.48 ÷ 7.61 = 15.04mm²/ct
Face-up area per carat
for 7.01ct Round (12.88×12.97×6.86mm):
Top surface area = 131.2 mm²
Weight = 7.01ct
Face-up area per carat = 131.2 ÷ 7.01 = 18.72mm²/ct
Weight = 7.01ct
Face-up area per carat = 131.2 ÷ 7.01 = 18.72mm²/ct
