The Carat Standard

IGI report LG774695932

3.07 ct Oval Laboratory-Grown Diamond

62/100 · Character

Distinctive trade-offs that should be viewed deliberately.

What reads well

  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS1 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • A 1.26:1 length-to-width ratio is outside the classic oval range; the outline will look more compact than typical.
  • Face-up area is about 18% below typical ovals of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
  • A 76.5% depth is on the deep side for an oval; deeper pavilions are associated with a stronger bow-tie and hidden weight.
  • Slightly thick to extremely thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size.
  • Screening only: for this oval, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie (a dark band across the centre) and whether both ends look even.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 62%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for an oval, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look
76.5% is deeper than typical for an oval (58–63.5%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests and may show a stronger bow-tie.
Length-to-width · Favorable
A 1.26:1 outline is squarer than the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an oval — a matter of taste, but worth seeing in person.
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 extremely thick (faceted): 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
VVS1: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 76.5% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.07 ct oval?
  • In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
  • Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
