This one is 9.04 carats and measures 14.93 × 10.70 mm face-up, a length-to-width ratio of 1.40. E is in the colorless range (D–F): it will face up icy white, in white metal or yellow gold. VVS2 inclusions are very, very slight: difficult for a trained grader to find even at 10× magnification, and not normally visible to the naked eye. Cushions suit a halo, a solitaire, or a vintage-inspired setting. On value: it is listed at $3,799, about $420 per carat. We have few directly comparable E VVS2 cushion diamonds of this weight in inventory right now, so judge it on its own grades and appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe photo is a still frame from this diamond's own 360° video, cropped and placed on a white background; the stone itself is not retouched.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable class=\"cc-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElongated Cushion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCarat weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.04\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eClarity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVVS2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCut grade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot graded by the lab (usual for fancy shapes)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePolish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExcellent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSymmetry\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExcellent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFluorescence\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eListed on the grading report\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMeasurements (L × W × D)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.93 × 10.70 × 7.09 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLength-to-width ratio\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.40\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDepth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66.3%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGirdle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eListed on the grading report\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCulet\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eListed on the grading report\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrading lab\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIGI (International Gemological Institute)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eReport number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e747560840\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrowth method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCVD (chemical vapor deposition)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dnaimages.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/videos\/Vision360.html?d=747560840\u0026amp;v=6\u0026amp;zoomslide=0\u0026amp;btn=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"\u003eView the 360° video\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.igi.org\/VERIFY-YOUR-REPORT\/?r=747560840\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"\u003eVerify IGI report 747560840\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy this diamond\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat stands out: Excellent polish and symmetry, E (colorless) color and VVS2 clarity. Worth knowing: its 1.40 ratio is outside the most common range for a cushion (1.00–1.05 or 1.15–1.35), which changes the outline, so look at the proportions; the lab did not give an overall cut grade (normal for fancy shapes), so polish, symmetry and the video matter more. If budget matters more than grades, a G–H VS2 of the same size would look very similar to most people once set; this stone is for someone who wants the top of the scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this diamond\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a VVS2 cushion of 9.04 carats eye-clean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVVS2 inclusions are very, very slight: difficult for a trained grader to find even at 10× magnification, and not normally visible to the naked eye.

The report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, color, clarity, polish and symmetry, and states that the diamond is laboratory-grown. It also lists details we don't show here, such as fluorescence, girdle and culet. Enter the report number on IGI's website (the verify link on this page goes straight there) to confirm the details match this listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill E color look white?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eE is in the colorless range (D–F): it will face up icy white, in white metal or yellow gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this a real diamond?

It was grown by CVD (chemical vapor deposition). The growth method doesn't make a diamond better or worse on its own; the grades and how it looks do.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carat Confidential","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50807031824484,"sku":"X-196-148","price":3799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/7461\/8468\/files\/9-04-carat-elongated-cushion-lab-grown-diamond-e-vvs2-igi-certified-747560840.jpg?v=1790529763","url":"https:\/\/caratconfidential.com\/products\/9-04-carat-elongated-cushion-lab-grown-diamond-e-vvs2-igi-certified-747560840","provider":"Carat Confidential","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
