The Carat Standard

IGI report LG786662048

4.05 ct Radiant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

90/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • Face-up spread (11.56 × 7.67 mm) is typical or better for a 4.05 ct radiant.
  • Table 63% and depth 67.9% fall in the typical radiant range.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • E color is in the colorless range.
  • VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in a radiant.

What deserves a closer look

  • A 1.51:1 length-to-width ratio is outside the classic radiant range; the outline will look more elongated than typical.
  • Screening only: for this radiant, check images or video of the exact stone for the sparkle pattern (defined flashes or "crushed ice") and any dark or see-through 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 63%, the table sits within the typical 60–70% range for a radiant, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Ideal
67.9% is within the typical 61–68% range for a radiant, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Length-to-width · Favorable
A 1.51:1 outline is longer and slimmer than the classic 1.2–1.5:1 range for a radiant — 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
Medium: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal
Pointed: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Ideal
E 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 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?
