IGI report LG778688147
3.00 ct Emerald Laboratory-Grown Diamond
89/100 · Refined
A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.
What reads well
- A 1.48:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic emerald cut range.
- Face-up spread (10.17 × 6.87 mm) is typical or better for a 3.00 ct emerald cut.
- Table 63% and depth 62% fall in the typical emerald cut range.
- Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
- VVS2 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
What deserves a closer look
- G color in a 3.00 ct emerald cut may show some warmth, especially at the corners.
- 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 · Ideal
- At 63%, the table sits within the typical 60–69% range for an emerald cut, balancing brightness with fire.
- Total depth · Ideal
- 62% is within the typical 60–69% range for an emerald cut, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
- Length-to-width · Ideal
- A 1.48:1 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 · Ideal
- Excellent symmetry is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
- Girdle · Ideal
- Slightly thick: 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 · Favorable
- G is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings, though an emerald cut can show a hint of warmth at the corners.
- 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 open step facets, is the center completely eye-clean without any visible dark marks?
- Does this CVD diamond show any brown or gray undertone face-up in daylight?
- Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
