What reads well

What deserves a closer look

  • Screening only: for this Old Mine cut, check images or video of the exact stone for the broad, chunky antique flash pattern and how the open culet looks face-up.
  • Treatment status is not stated on the report. For a laboratory-grown diamond, ask whether it is as-grown or post-growth treated.

Length-to-width · Ideal

Girdle · Ideal

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does it show the broad, chunky flashes of an antique cut, and how much does the open culet show face-up?
  • 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?
