3.02 ct Oval Laboratory-Grown Diamond

86/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • A 1.49:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic oval range.
  • Face-up spread (12.20 × 8.19 mm) is typical or better for a 3.02 ct oval.
  • E color is in the colorless range.
  • VS2 clarity is typically eye-clean in an oval.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • A 56.5% depth is shallow for an oval; check images for a see-through window in the centre.
  • 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 63%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for an oval, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look
56.5% is shallower than typical for an oval (58–63.5%). That spreads the stone face-up but raises the risk of windowing — a glassy, see-through center.
Length-to-width · Ideal
A 1.49:1 outline is within the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an oval.
Polish · Favorable
Very Good polish is a fine result; the difference from Excellent is rarely visible without magnification.
Symmetry · Favorable
Very Good symmetry is a fine result; the difference from Excellent is rarely visible without magnification.
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
E is in the colorless range and faces up white in any metal.
Clarity · Favorable
VS2 is typically eye-clean.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With a shallow 56.5% depth, can you see a glassy, see-through patch in the center?
  • Is this VS2 diamond eye-clean face-up from about 10 inches away?
  • In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
