IGI report LG803639543
4.00 ct Dutch Marquise Laboratory-Grown Diamond
80/100 · Considered
A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.
What reads well
- D color is in the colorless range.
- VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in a fancy shape.
- No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
- The report states no indication of post-growth treatment.
What deserves a closer look
- The table 70% sits outside the typical fancy shape range.
- Thick to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
- Screening only: for this fancy shape, check images or video of the exact stone for the overall light pattern, dark areas and any see-through window.
- The shape "Modified Hexagonal Mixed Cut" does not match a standard profile, so a conservative general screen was used.
The reading, field by field
- Table · Closer look
- A 70% table is larger than typical for a fancy shape (55–65%). Large tables can read bright but flatter, with less fire and contrast.
- Total depth · Ideal
- 64.6% is within the typical 58–68% range for a fancy shape, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
- Polish · Favorable
- Very Good polish is a fine result; the difference from Excellent is rarely visible without magnification.
- Symmetry · Favorable
- Very Good symmetry is a fine result; the difference from Excellent is rarely visible without magnification.
- Girdle · Closer look
- Thick to very thick: a thick girdle carries weight in the rim, so the stone can face up a little smaller for its carat weight. It is durable, though.
- Culet · Ideal
- Pointed: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
- Color · Ideal
- D 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?
- Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
- 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?
