Carat Weight (2.59 ct) Visual Presence: A round brilliant stone of this weight measures approximately 8.8 mm to 8.9 mm in diameter, offering substantial finger coverage. Value Threshold: Sitting comfortably above the major 2.50ct pricing jump, this stone commands a premium over 2.0ct–2.49ct options. Clarity (VVS1)Grading: Very, Very Slightly Included (Level 1). Visibility: Inclusions are microscopic, typically tiny pinpoints visible only to a trained gemologist under 10x magnification. It is completely eye-clean with no visible flaws.Trade-Off: VVS1 offers exceptional purity, though functionally it looks identical to the naked eye as a VS1 or VS2 diamond while carrying a higher price tag. Color (I Grade)Category: Near Colorless (grades G through J). Appearance: Appears white face-up due to the intense sparkle and light reflection of a Round Brilliant cut. A subtle warm tint may only be noticeable when viewed from the side against a pure white background.Setting Recommendation: Pairs exceptionally well with yellow gold or rose gold, which masks any faint warm undertones. If setting in white gold or platinum, ensure an Excellent/Ideal cut to maximize brilliance and disguise color.

Laser Inscription: The report number is micro-etched directly onto the stone's girdle. You can verify this number under a loupe to ensure it matches the physical IGI certificate.
