2.81 ct Emerald Laboratory-Grown Diamond

What reads well

• Face-up spread (9.89 × 6.41 mm) is typical or better for a 2.81 ct emerald cut.
• Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
• F color is in the colorless range.
• VVS2 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
• No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

• A 1.54:1 length-to-width ratio is outside the classic emerald cut range; the outline will look more elongated than typical.
• 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 · Ideal

At 66%, the table sits within the typical 60–69% range for an emerald cut, balancing brightness with fire.

Total depth · Closer look

69.1% is deeper than typical for an emerald cut (60–69%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.

Length-to-width · Favorable

A 1.54:1 outline is longer and slimmer than the classic 1.3–1.5:1 range for an emerald cut — a matter of taste, but worth seeing in person.

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: 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

F is in the colorless range and faces up white in any metal.

Clarity · Ideal

VVS2: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.

Fluorescence · Ideal

None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

What to check on the exact stone

• With 69.1% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 2.81 ct emerald?
• 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?
