1.72 ct Round Brilliant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

61/100 · Investigate

The report asks for a more careful visual review.

What reads well

  • Table 58% and depth 62.2% are within the classic round brilliant range.
  • 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 38.7° / pavilion 39.6° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 58%, the table sits within the typical 53–59% range for a round brilliant, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Ideal
62.2% is within the typical 59.5–63% range for a round brilliant, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Crown angle · Closer look
A 38.7° crown is steeper than the typical 32–36° zone. Steep crowns can add fire, but only pair well with a slightly shallower pavilion.
Pavilion angle · Closer look
39.6° is shallower than the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone. Shallow pavilions can let light pass straight through, looking glassy.
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
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 a gray ring or glassy patch show around the center when you look straight down?
  • Does this HPHT-grown diamond look neutral white beside another stone in daylight, with no gray or blue cast?
  • With Very Good polish and Very Good symmetry, are there visible misaligned facets or wheel marks?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
