1.99 ct Round Brilliant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

93/100 · Signature

An unusually disciplined report profile.

What reads well

  • Table 57% and depth 62.3% are within the classic round brilliant range.
  • The IGI Ideal cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS1 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 57%, the table sits within the typical 53–59% range for a round brilliant, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Ideal
62.3% 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 · Ideal
35.1° sits in the 32–36° zone where crown angles typically balance fire and brightness.
Pavilion angle · Ideal
41.1° is inside the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone where the pavilion returns light most efficiently.
Polish · Favorable
Very Good polish is a fine result; the difference from Excellent is rarely visible without magnification.
Symmetry · Ideal
Excellent symmetry is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
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 · Ideal
VVS1: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.
Cut grade · Ideal
Ideal 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 this HPHT-grown diamond look neutral white beside another stone in daylight, with no gray or blue cast?
  • With Very Good polish, are there visible surface polish lines or wheel marks?
  • Can I see this stone in soft daylight away from store spotlights to verify its sparkle?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
