1.59 ct E VVS2 Round Lab-Grown Diamond

The pavilion is 0.47° steeper than its crown supports. A 34.0° crown at a 58.0% table needs 40.93°; this has 41.4°. That is roughly 2.3 crown-degrees worth of mismatch on a trade-off that only tolerates a fraction of one. Expect leakage in a ring just inside the table, which reads as a dull, lifeless zone rather than a hard dark centre. The Cut Group documented exactly this at 35.3°/41.4° on a 57% table — “very unattractive leakage just inside the table”.

Brightness-leaning (lean 25/100). Whiter, more mirror-like return with less coloured flash. Reads well in diffuse everyday light and photographs cleanly — which matters if it sells from images.

The 58.0% table is larger than this crown implies — a 34.0° crown belongs with a 55.3–57.1% table. Mixed intent from the cutter, usually weight retention. It will read less decisively as either style.

From the certificate text: the comments carry no treatment statement either way — worth asking the vendor, since most CVD stones receive post-growth HPHT decolourising.

It sits on a gate edge — pavilion 41.4° on the 41.4° ceiling; table 58.0% on the 58.0% ceiling. IGI reports to a step wide enough that the true value could be on either side of the line. Treat the pass as provisional and let a re-measure settle it.

Passes — score 73.1. It meets the standard, but it is not a stone we would highlight — differences start to be visible to a trained eye under the right lighting.
