IGI report LG779613636
1.50 ct Heart Laboratory-Grown Diamond
89/100 · Refined
A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.
What reads well
- A 0.92:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic heart range.
- Face-up spread (7.21 × 7.87 mm) is typical or better for a 1.50 ct heart.
- Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
- E color is in the colorless range.
- VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in a heart.
What deserves a closer look
- The stated 56.3% depth does not match the measurements (about 61.4%). Check the report data.
- The table 65% sits outside the typical heart range.
- A 56.3% depth is shallow for a heart; check images for a see-through window in the centre.
- Thick to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
- Screening only: for this heart, check images or video of the exact stone for even lobes, a crisp cleft and a point that lines up below it.
The reading, field by field
- Table · Closer look
- A 65% table is larger than typical for a heart (53–63%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
- Total depth · Ideal
- 56.3% is within the typical 56–63% range for a heart, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
- Length-to-width · Ideal
- A 1.09:1 outline is within the classic 0.9–1.1:1 range for a heart.
- 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
- Thick to very 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
- 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.
What to check on the exact stone
- Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
- Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
- 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?
