3.02 ct Emerald Laboratory-Grown Diamond

88/100 · Refined

A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.

What reads well

Face-up spread (10.03 × 6.58 mm) is typical or better for a 3.02 ct emerald cut.
Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
D color is in the colorless range.
No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
Medium girdle balances durability and weight retention.

A 1.52:1 length-to-width ratio is outside the classic emerald cut range; the outline will look more elongated than typical.
VS2 in an emerald cut is usually eye-clean, but step cuts show inclusions more readily than brilliants; check the plot.
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.

Table · Ideal: At 68%, the table sits within the typical 60–69% range for an emerald cut, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look: 69.6% is deeper than typical for an emerald cut (60–69%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
Length-to-width · Favorable: A 1.52:1 outline is longer and slimmer than the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an emerald cut — 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 · Ideal: Medium: 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 · Ideal: D is in the colorless range and faces up white in any metal.
Clarity · Favorable: VS2 is typically eye-clean, though step cuts show inclusions more readily — worth a close look at the images.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

With 69.6% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.02 ct emerald?
Step cuts show inclusions openly—is this VS2 diamond eye-clean through the table from about 10 inches away?
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?
