The Carat Standard

IGI report LG831628514

3.00 ct Marquise Laboratory-Grown Diamond

87/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • A 1.99:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic marquise range.
  • Face-up spread (14.46 × 7.27 mm) is typical or better for a 3.00 ct marquise.
  • 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 66.6% depth is on the deep side for a marquise; deeper pavilions are associated with a stronger bow-tie and hidden weight.
  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a marquise 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 66.6% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 3.00 ct marquise?
  • Will the ring setting use protective V-tip prongs or a bezel to safeguard the two delicate points?
  • 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?
