5.05 ct Radiant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

What reads well

• A 1.47:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic radiant range.
• Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
• 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

• Face-up area is about 12% below typical radiants of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
• 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 radiant, check images or video of the exact stone for the sparkle pattern (defined flashes or "crushed ice") and any dark or see-through corners.
• 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 · Ideal

At 66%, the table sits within the typical 60–70% range for a radiant, balancing brightness with fire.

Total depth · Closer look

69.2% is deeper than typical for a radiant (61–68%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.

Length-to-width · Ideal

A 1.47:1 outline is within the classic 1.2–1.5:1 range for a radiant.

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: 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 · 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.

What to check on the exact stone

• With 69.2% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 5.05 ct radiant?
• Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
• 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?
