IGI report LG835623744

3.00 ct Oval Laboratory-Grown Diamond

89/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • A 1.49:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic oval range.
  • Face-up spread (11.88 × 7.98 mm) is typical or better for a 3.00 ct oval.
  • Table 59% and depth 61.9% fall in the typical oval range.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • D color is in the colorless range.

What deserves a closer look

  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in an oval 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

  • How dark is the bow-tie shadow across the center when viewed in normal daylight?
  • 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?
