IGI report LG799617533

2.00 ct Cushion Laboratory-Grown Diamond

89/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • A 1.25:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic cushion range.
  • Face-up spread (8.55 × 6.82 mm) is typical or better for a 2.00 ct cushion.
  • Table 59% and depth 68.2% fall in the typical cushion range.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • D color is in the colorless range.

What deserves a closer look

  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a cushion can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.
  • Treatment status is not stated on the report. For a laboratory-grown diamond, ask whether it is as-grown or post-growth treated.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
  • 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?
