The Carat Standard

IGI report LG766625812

1.00 ct Round Brilliant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

79/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS2 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Crown 34.2° / pavilion 39.9° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
  • Table 63% sits outside the preferred round range.
  • 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 63% table is larger than typical for a round brilliant (53–59%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Closer look
59.1% is shallower than typical for a round brilliant (59.5–63%). That spreads the stone face-up but raises the risk of windowing — a glassy, see-through center.
Crown angle · Ideal
34.2° sits in the 32–36° zone where crown angles typically balance fire and brightness.
Pavilion angle · Closer look
39.9° 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 · Favorable
Slightly thick to thick (faceted): durable, on the thicker side for a round brilliant, so a little weight sits in the rim.
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
VVS2: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
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?
  • With a shallow 59.1% depth, can you see a glassy, see-through patch in the center?
  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
