The Carat Standard

IGI report LG407985722

2.01 ct Emerald Laboratory-Grown Diamond

75/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • A 1.43:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic emerald cut range.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Face-up area is about 16% below typical emerald cuts of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
  • Good polish / Good symmetry is below the Excellent/Very Good standard and can soften sparkle.
  • Very thick to extremely thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size.
  • I color in a 2.01 ct emerald cut may show some warmth, especially at the corners.
  • Screening only: windowing, contrast and the step-cut "hall of mirrors" pattern in an emerald cut can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 70% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 2.01 ct emerald?
  • Is this VS2 diamond eye-clean face-up from about 10 inches away?
  • With open step facets, is the center completely eye-clean without any visible dark marks?
  • Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
