The Carat Standard

IGI report LG762569444

2.00 ct Heart Laboratory-Grown Diamond

88/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • Face-up spread (7.43 × 8.82 mm) is typical or better for a 2.00 ct heart.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in a heart.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • The stated 58.2% depth does not match the measurements (about 69%). Check the report data.
  • A 0.84:1 length-to-width ratio is outside the classic heart range; the outline will look more compact than typical.
  • The table 65% sits outside the typical heart range.
  • Screening only: for this heart, check images or video of the exact stone for even lobes, a crisp cleft and a point that lines up below it.
  • 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 · Closer look
A 65% table is larger than typical for a heart (53–63%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Ideal
58.2% is within the typical 56–63% range for a heart, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Length-to-width · Favorable
A 1.19:1 outline is longer and slimmer than the classic 0.9–1.1:1 range for a heart — 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 · Ideal
Slightly thick to 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.

What to check on the exact stone

  • 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?
