The Carat Standard

IGI report LG760547743

2.08 ct Oval Laboratory-Grown Diamond

84/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • A 1.42:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic oval range.
  • Face-up spread (10.11 × 7.11 mm) is typical or better for a 2.08 ct oval.
  • E color is in the colorless range.
  • VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in an oval.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Good polish / Good symmetry is below the Excellent/Very Good standard and can soften sparkle.
  • A 64.3% depth is on the deep side for an oval; deeper pavilions are associated with a stronger bow-tie and hidden weight.
  • Screening only: for this oval, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie (a dark band across the centre) and whether both ends look even.
  • Treatment status is not stated on the report. For a laboratory-grown diamond, ask whether it is as-grown or post-growth treated.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 62%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for an oval, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look
64.3% is deeper than typical for an oval (58–63.5%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests and may show a stronger bow-tie.
Length-to-width · Ideal
A 1.42:1 outline is within the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an oval.
Polish · Closer look
Good polish is below the grades most buyers target and can slightly soften crispness. Worth seeing the stone in person or on video.
Symmetry · Closer look
Good symmetry is below the grades most buyers target and can slightly soften crispness. Worth seeing the stone in person or on video.
Girdle · Ideal
Thin 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
E 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.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 64.3% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 2.08 ct oval?
  • In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
  • 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?
