IGI report LG616404978

4.01 ct Marquise Laboratory-Grown Diamond

86/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • A 2.00:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic marquise range.
  • Face-up spread (16.48 × 8.26 mm) is typical or better for a 4.01 ct marquise.
  • Table 59% and depth 63.9% fall in the typical marquise range.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • VVS2 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.

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.
  • G color in a 4.01 ct marquise may show some warmth, especially at the points.
  • Screening only: for this marquise, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie and whether the two points line up end to end.

What to check on the exact stone

  • In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
  • Will the ring setting use protective V-tip prongs or a bezel to safeguard the two delicate points?
  • 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?
