The Carat Standard

IGI report LG786661907

1.50 ct Oval Laboratory-Grown Diamond

88/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • A 1.38:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic oval range.
  • Face-up spread (9.06 × 6.57 mm) is typical or better for a 1.50 ct oval.
  • F color is in the colorless range.
  • VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in an oval.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • The table 66% sits outside the typical oval range.
  • 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.

The reading, field by field

Table · Closer look
A 66% table is larger than typical for an oval (53–63%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Ideal
58.6% is within the typical 58–63.5% range for an oval, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
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 · Ideal
Medium 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
F 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?
  • In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
  • 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?
