IGI report LG769608326
3.05 ct Emerald Laboratory-Grown Diamond
88/100 · Refined
A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.
What reads well
- A 1.45:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic emerald cut range.
- Face-up spread (9.81 × 6.76 mm) is typical or better for a 3.05 ct emerald cut.
- E 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
- Screening only: for this emerald cut, check images or video of the exact stone for the "hall of mirrors" step pattern, any see-through window under the table and clean 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 · Closer look
- A 70% table is larger than typical for an emerald cut (60–69%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
- Total depth · Closer look
- 69.8% is deeper than typical for an emerald cut (60–69%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
- Length-to-width · Ideal
- A 1.45:1 outline is within the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an emerald cut.
- Polish · Ideal
- Excellent polish is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
- Symmetry · Favorable
- Very Good symmetry is a fine result; the difference from Excellent is rarely visible without magnification.
- Girdle · Ideal
- Medium: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
- Culet · Ideal
- Long: a keel-line culet, normal for elongated step and modified cuts.
- Color · Ideal
- E 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 69.8% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.05 ct emerald?
- Can you see straight through the center (windowing), or does it reflect clean steps?
- With open step facets, is the center completely eye-clean without any visible dark marks?
- Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
