The Carat Standard

IGI report LG706571596

3.71 ct Cut Cornered Rectangular Mixed Cut Laboratory-Grown Diamond

81/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS1 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
  • Medium girdle balances durability and weight retention.

What deserves a closer look

  • The table 69% sits outside the typical fancy shape range.
  • Screening only: for this fancy shape, check images or video of the exact stone for the overall light pattern, dark areas and any see-through window.
  • Treatment status is not stated on the report. For a laboratory-grown diamond, ask whether it is as-grown or post-growth treated.
  • The shape "Cut Cornered Rectangular Mixed Cut" does not match a standard profile, so a conservative general screen was used.

The reading, field by field

Table · Closer look
A 69% table is larger than typical for a fancy shape (55–65%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Closer look
69.8% is deeper than typical for a fancy shape (58–68%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
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
Long: a keel-line culet, normal for elongated step and modified cuts.
Color · Ideal
D is in the colorless range and faces up white in any metal.
Clarity · Ideal
VVS1: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 69.8% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.71 ct cut cornered rectangular mixed cut?
  • 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?
