IGI report LG772683663

1.06 ct Round Brilliant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

84/100 · Refined

A strong, composed candidate on paper.

What reads well

Crown 37° / pavilion 40.1° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.

Table · Closer look: A 60% 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 · Ideal: 62.3% 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 37° 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: 40.1° 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: E is in the colorless range and faces up white in any metal.
Clarity · Favorable: VS1 is typically eye-clean.
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.

Does a gray ring or glassy patch show around the center when you look straight down?
Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
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?
