2.01 ct Emerald Laboratory-Grown Diamond

78/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

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.
VS2 in an emerald cut is usually eye-clean, but step cuts show inclusions more readily than brilliants; check the plot.
Screening only: for this emerald cut, check images or video of the exact stone for the "hall of mirrors" step pattern, any see-through window under the table and clean corners.

Table · Favorable: A 59% table is smaller than typical for an emerald cut (60–69%). Smaller tables tend to favor fire over broad, flat brightness.
Total depth · Closer look: 70% is deeper than typical for an emerald cut (60–69%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
Length-to-width · Ideal: A 1.43:1 outline is within the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an emerald cut.
Polish · Closer look: Good polish is below the grades most buyers target and can slightly soften crispness. Worth seeing the stone in person or on video.
Symmetry · Closer look: Good symmetry is below the grades most buyers target and can slightly soften crispness. Worth seeing the stone in person or on video.
Girdle · Closer look: Very thick to extremely thick: a thick girdle carries weight in the rim, so the stone can face up a little smaller for its carat weight. It is durable, though.
Culet · Ideal: Long Faceted: a keel-line culet, normal for elongated step and modified cuts.
Color · Favorable: I may show slight warmth at the corners of an emerald cut, especially next to white metal. Yellow or rose gold tends to complement it.
Clarity · Favorable: VS2 is typically eye-clean, though step cuts show inclusions more readily — worth a close look at the images.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

With 70% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 2.01 ct emerald?
Step cuts show inclusions openly—is this VS2 diamond eye-clean through the table from about 10 inches away?
Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
