4.02 ct Oval Laboratory-Grown Diamond

84/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

A 66% depth is on the deep side for an oval; deeper pavilions are associated with a stronger bow-tie and hidden weight.
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 oval, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie (a dark band across the centre) and whether both ends look even.
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 61%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for an oval, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look: 66% is deeper than typical for an oval (58–63.5%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests and may show a stronger bow-tie.
Length-to-width · Ideal: A 1.38:1 outline is within the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an oval.
Polish · Ideal: Excellent polish is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
Symmetry · Favorable: Very Good symmetry is a fine result; the difference from Excellent is rarely visible without magnification.
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 · Favorable: G is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings, though an oval can show a hint of warmth at the tips.
Clarity · Ideal: VVS2: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
Fluorescence · Ideal: None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

With 66% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 4.02 ct oval?
In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
