The Carat Standard

IGI report LG816616362

1.50 ct Cushion Laboratory-Grown Diamond

83/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • FL clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
  • The report states no indication of post-growth treatment.

What deserves a closer look

  • A 1.46:1 length-to-width ratio is outside the classic cushion range; the outline will look more elongated than typical.
  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a cushion can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 70.2% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 1.50 ct cushion?
  • Does this cushion produce broad, chunky flashes or small needle-like crushed-ice sparkle?
  • Does this HPHT-grown diamond look neutral white beside another stone in daylight, with no gray or blue cast?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
