The Carat Standard

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.

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?
