IGI report LG564374976

5.00 ct Radiant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

85/100 · Refined

A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.

What reads well

  • A 1.01:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic radiant range.
  • Face-up spread (9.36 × 9.30 mm) is typical or better for a 5.00 ct radiant.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in a radiant.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

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.
  • H color in a 5.00 ct radiant may show some warmth, especially at the corners.
  • Screening only: for this radiant, check images or video of the exact stone for the sparkle pattern (defined flashes or "crushed ice") and any dark or see-through corners.

The reading, field by field

Table · Closer look
A 74% table is larger than typical for a radiant (60–70%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Ideal
64.3% is within the typical 61–68% range for a radiant, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Length-to-width · Ideal
A 1.01:1 outline is within the classic 1–1.05:1 range for a radiant.
Polish · Ideal
Excellent polish is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
Symmetry · Ideal
Excellent symmetry is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
Girdle · Ideal
Medium: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal
Pointed: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Favorable
H is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings, though a radiant can show a hint of warmth at the corners.
Clarity · Favorable
VS1 is typically eye-clean.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

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?
