IGI report LG784668115
1.59 ct Emerald Laboratory-Grown Diamond
89/100 · Refined
A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.
What reads well
- A 1.48:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic emerald cut range.
- Face-up spread (8.03 × 5.43 mm) is typical or better for a 1.59 ct emerald cut.
- D color is in the colorless range.
- VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in an emerald cut.
- No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
What deserves a closer look
- 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.
The reading, field by field
- Table · Closer look
- A 70% table is larger than typical for an emerald cut (60–69%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
- Total depth · Ideal
- 67% is within the typical 60–69% range for an emerald cut, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
- Length-to-width · Ideal
- A 1.48:1 outline is within the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an emerald cut.
- 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 · Ideal
- Slightly Thick: 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
- VS1 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.
What to check on the exact stone
- Can you see straight through the center (windowing), or does it reflect clean steps?
- With open step facets, is the center completely eye-clean without any visible dark marks?
- 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?
