IGI report LG761510470

2.00 ct Cushion Laboratory-Grown Diamond

82/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

A 1.38:1 length-to-width ratio is outside the classic cushion range; the outline will look more elongated than typical.
The depth 72.6% sits outside the typical cushion range.
Slightly thick to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
Screening only: for this cushion, check images or video of the exact stone for the facet pattern (bold, chunky flashes or finer "crushed ice") and any dark areas under the table.
Treatment status is not stated on the report. For a laboratory-grown diamond, ask whether it is as-grown or post-growth treated.

Table · Ideal: At 62%, the table sits within the typical 56–66% range for a cushion, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look: 72.6% is deeper than typical for a cushion (61–69%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
Length-to-width · Favorable: A 1.38:1 outline is longer and slimmer than the classic 1–1.35:1 range for a cushion — a matter of taste, but worth seeing in person.
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 · Closer look: Slightly thick to very thick (faceted): a thick girdle carries weight in the rim, so the stone can face up a little smaller for its carat weight. It is durable, though.
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 · Ideal: VVS2: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

With 72.6% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 2.00 ct cushion?
Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
