IGI report LG766665316

1.71 ct Round Brilliant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

92/100 · Signature

An unusually disciplined report profile.

What reads well

  • Table 57% and depth 62.2% are within the classic round brilliant range.
  • The IGI Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS1 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.

What deserves a closer look

  • Crown 36.5° / pavilion 40.3° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.

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
62.2% 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 36.5° 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
40.3° is shallower than the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone. Shallow pavilions can let light pass straight through, looking glassy.
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 · 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
Excellent 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?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
