The Carat Standard

IGI report LG788667950

4.07 ct Round Brilliant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

89/100 · Refined

A strong, composed candidate on paper.

What reads well

  • The IGI Ideal cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • F color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS1 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Crown 33.4° / pavilion 40.4° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
  • 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 60% 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
59.9% 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
33.4° sits in the 32–36° zone where crown angles typically balance fire and brightness.
Pavilion angle · Closer look
40.4° is shallower than the narrow 40.5–41.3° zone. Shallow pavilions can let light pass straight through, looking glassy.
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 To Slightly 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 · Ideal
VVS1: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.
Cut grade · Ideal
Ideal 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 a gray ring or glassy patch show around the center when you look straight down?
  • 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 you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
