The Carat Standard

IGI report LG759531847

1.12 ct Round Brilliant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

87/100 · Refined

A strong, composed candidate on paper.

What reads well

  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in a round brilliant.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
  • Medium to slightly thick girdle balances durability and weight retention.

What deserves a closer look

  • Crown 34.7° / pavilion 41.6° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
  • Depth 63.9% sits outside the preferred round range.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 57%, the table sits within the typical 53–59% range for a round brilliant, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look
63.9% is deeper than typical for a round brilliant (59.5–63%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
Crown angle · Ideal
34.7° sits in the 32–36° zone where crown angles typically balance fire and brightness.
Pavilion angle · Closer look
41.6° is steeper than the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone. Deep pavilions can leak light through the sides and darken the center.
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 to slightly thick (faceted): a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal
Pointed: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Ideal
D is in the colorless range and faces up white in any metal.
Clarity · Favorable
VS1 is typically eye-clean.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.
Cut grade · Favorable
Very Good as issued by IGI, on IGI's own scale. The measured proportions above tell you more than the label.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the center turn dark or lose sparkle when you tilt the diamond face-up?
  • With 63.9% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 1.12 ct round?
  • Does this HPHT-grown diamond look neutral white beside another stone in daylight, with no gray or blue cast?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
