93/100 · Signature

An unusually disciplined report profile.

What reads well

  • The IGI Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in a round brilliant.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 55%, the table sits within the typical 53–59% range for a round brilliant, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Ideal
62.8% 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 · Ideal
35.7° sits in the 32–36° zone where crown angles typically balance fire and brightness.
Pavilion angle · Closer look
40.3° is shallower than the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone. Shallow pavilions can let light pass straight through, looking glassy.
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 to slightly thick (faceted): a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
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 · Favorable
VS1 is typically eye-clean.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.
Cut grade · Ideal
Excellent as issued by IGI, on IGI's own scale. The measured proportions above tell you more than the label.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does a gray ring or glassy patch show around the center when you look straight down?
  • 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?
