The Carat Standard

IGI report LG818606625

2.00 ct Cushion Laboratory-Grown Diamond

83/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • Face-up spread (9.14 × 6.26 mm) is typical or better for a 2.00 ct cushion.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS2 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

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.
  • 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

  • With 69.8% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 2.00 ct cushion?
  • 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?
