The Carat Standard

IGI report LG820604716

2.00 ct Radiant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

85/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • Face-up spread (8.67 × 6.13 mm) is typical or better for a 2.00 ct radiant.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • F color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS1 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • A 1.41:1 length-to-width ratio is outside the classic radiant range; the outline will look more elongated than typical.
  • The table 73% sits outside the typical radiant 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: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a radiant 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 69.3% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 2.00 ct cut?
  • 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?
