The Carat Standard

IGI report LG786685559

1.50 ct Round Brilliant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

90/100 · Refined

A strong, composed candidate on paper.

What reads well

  • Crown 33.2° with pavilion 41.2° sits in the well-regarded pairing zone for brightness and fire.
  • The IGI Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • G color should face up white in most settings.
  • VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in a round brilliant.

What deserves a closer look

  • Table 61% sits outside the preferred round range.
  • 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 61% table is larger than typical for a round brilliant (53–59%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
Total depth · Ideal
60% is within the typical 59.5–63% range for a round brilliant, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Crown angle · Ideal
33.2° sits in the 32–36° zone where crown angles typically balance fire and brightness.
Pavilion angle · Ideal
41.2° is inside the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone where the pavilion returns light most efficiently.
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 (Faceted): a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal
Pointed: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Favorable
G is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings.
Clarity · Favorable
VS1 is typically eye-clean.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.
Cut grade · Ideal
Excellent as issued by IGI, on IGI's own scale. The measured proportions above tell you more than the label.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Does this CVD diamond show any brown or gray undertone face-up in daylight?
  • Can I see this stone in soft daylight away from store spotlights to verify its sparkle?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
