The Carat Standard

IGI report LG765618880

1.07 ct Cushion Laboratory-Grown Diamond

85/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • Face-up spread (7.33 × 5.04 mm) is typical or better for a 1.07 ct cushion.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • G color should face up white in most settings.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • A 1.45:1 length-to-width ratio is outside the classic cushion range; the outline will look more elongated than typical.
  • Confirm this SI1 cushion is eye-clean from an image or video; the report plot shows where inclusions sit.
  • 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.

The reading, field by field

Table · Closer look
A 67% table is larger than typical for a cushion (56–66%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Ideal
68.1% is within the typical 61–69% range for a cushion, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Length-to-width · Favorable
A 1.45:1 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 · Favorable
G is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings.
Clarity · Favorable
SI1 is often eye-clean in a cushion, but not always — check where the inclusions sit.
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?
  • Is this SI1 diamond eye-clean face-up from about 10 inches away?
  • Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
