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
62.5% 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 36.2° 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 · Ideal
40.7° is inside the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone where the pavilion returns light most efficiently.
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 (faceted): a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal
Pointed: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
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.
Cut grade · Ideal
Ideal 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 the steep crown give lively fire without making the center look darker?
  • 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?
