The Carat Standard

IGI report LG825635791

1.50 ct Emerald Laboratory-Grown Diamond

86/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • A 1.43:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic emerald cut range.
  • E color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS2 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
  • Slightly thick girdle balances durability and weight retention.

What deserves a closer look

  • A 71% table is very large for a step cut, which can flatten the hall-of-mirrors effect.
  • Screening only: windowing, contrast and the step-cut "hall of mirrors" pattern in an emerald cut 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

  • Can you see straight through the center (windowing), or does it reflect clean steps?
  • With open step facets, is the center completely eye-clean without any visible dark marks?
  • Does this CVD diamond show any brown or gray undertone face-up in daylight?
  • With Very Good polish and Very Good symmetry, are there visible misaligned facets or wheel marks?
