Carat is a measure of weight, while the millimetre dimensions tell you more about how large the diamond faces up and how the setting must be engineered. This stone measures 8.50 × 5.69 × 3.63 mm, so those actual dimensions can guide claw position, halo spacing, bezel size and setting clearances. At one carat or above, it can be treated as a prominent centre stone for a solitaire, halo, cathedral, three-stone or statement pendant design.

L sits in the K–M faint-colour range and can show a gentle warm character. Yellow or rose gold can harmonise with that warmth, while platinum or white gold may create more contrast.

VVS2 is a very high clarity grade with minute clarity characteristics that are difficult for a skilled grader to see at 10× magnification. Ask our Graduate Gemologist (GIA) if you would like an opinion on whether this exact diamond appears eye-clean in normal viewing.

For a Emerald diamond, appearance should not be reduced to a Round Brilliant cut scale. Outline, facet pattern, contrast, length-to-width ratio, polish, symmetry and image/video assessment are important parts of the selection. Recorded finish: Polish EX · Symmetry EX.
