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 8.54 × 8.57 × 5.36 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.

K 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.

VVS1 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 GIA-graded standard Round Brilliant, Excellent is the top category on GIA’s Excellent-to-Poor cut scale. Cut assessment considers brightness, fire and scintillation together with design and craftsmanship factors. This supports strong sparkle potential, while the actual diamond image/video remains the best way to judge its individual visual character. Recorded finish: Polish EX · Symmetry EX.
