The Carat Standard

IGI report LG831606277

4.00 ct Radiant Laboratory-Grown Diamond

82/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • Face-up spread (12.32 × 7.47 mm) is typical or better for a 4.00 ct radiant.
  • Table 70% and depth 64.3% fall in the typical radiant range.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • E color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS2 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.

What deserves a closer look

  • A 1.65:1 length-to-width ratio is outside the classic radiant range; the outline will look more elongated than typical.
  • 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

  • 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?
