The Carat Standard

IGI report LG564374976

5.00 ct Radiant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

82/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • A 1.01:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic radiant range.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in a radiant.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
  • Medium girdle balances durability and weight retention.

What deserves a closer look

  • The report says this stone may include post-growth treatment; ask the seller to confirm whether it is as-grown.
  • The table 74% sits outside the typical radiant range.
  • Face-up area is about 15% below typical radiants of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
  • H color in a 5.00 ct radiant may show some warmth, especially at the corners.
  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a radiant can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Does this CVD diamond show any brown or gray undertone face-up in daylight?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
