IGI report LG781638013
2.08 ct Square Cushion Laboratory-Grown Diamond
87/100 · Refined
A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.
What reads well
- A 1.05:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic cushion range.
- Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
- E color is in the colorless range.
- VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in a cushion.
- No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
What deserves a closer look
- The table 68% sits outside the typical cushion range.
- Face-up area is about 13% below typical cushions of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
- Screening only: for this cushion, check images or video of the exact stone for the facet pattern (bold, chunky flashes or finer "crushed ice") and any dark areas under the table.
- 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 · Closer look
- A 68% table is larger than typical for a cushion (56–66%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
- Total depth · Ideal
- 68.6% is within the typical 61–69% range for a cushion, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
- Length-to-width · Ideal
- A 1.05:1 outline is within the classic 1–1.35:1 range for a cushion.
- 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 to 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
- 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?
- Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
- 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?
