The Carat Standard

IGI report LG781631004

1.50 ct Round Brilliant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

70/100 · Character

Distinctive trade-offs that should be viewed deliberately.

What reads well

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

What deserves a closer look

  • The measured proportions do not match the Excellent cut grade; recheck the report data.
  • Crown 31.9° / pavilion 40.1° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
  • Table 61% and depth 57.5% sit outside the preferred round range.
  • Treatment status is not stated on the report. For a laboratory-grown diamond, ask whether it is as-grown or post-growth treated.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does a gray ring or glassy patch show around the center when you look straight down?
  • With a shallow 57.5% depth, can you see a glassy, see-through patch in the center?
  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Does this CVD diamond show any brown or gray undertone face-up in daylight?
