A 3.00-carat Cushion cut with M color and VS1 clarity is the "sweet spot" for someone who wants a high-clarity, large-carat stone with a warm, vintage soul. The M color is the final grade in the "Faint" category before diamonds officially move into the "Very Light Yellow" (N-R) range. It sits right on the edge of looking like a warm ivory and a light lemon tint. The "M" Tint: In a 3-carat stone, the body color is visible. It will look like a "warm white" or "parchment" color. However, because it is a VS1, the light return will be very crisp. A clean crystal (VS1) helps the diamond sparkle more effectively, which can sometimes "mask" the tint with white light reflections (brilliance). The "VS1" Advantage: This is a "prestige" clarity grade. Even though the stone has color, it is technically very pure. You won't see any black spots, clouds, or feathers. It will look like a drop of warm, clear water. Important Information for Buyers: 1. Customs and Import Fees: ○ Your country of residence may impose additional customs and import fees. These fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer. ○ The VAT is not included in the price of the stone as it depends on your country’s laws. ○ How to pay VAT? You will pay the VAT directly to the courier company upon delivery. 2. Country-Specific Information: ○ France & Portugal: French and Portuguese customs will only clear imported loose diamonds (gemstones) if they are handled by a local customs broker. The broker fee is not included in the price of the lot, and it will need to be paid separately. ○ Belgium: To import loose diamonds into Belgium, you must have a license and be registered at the Diamond Office. 2. Cancellation/Withdrawal by the Winning Bidder: ○ In case of a return, VAT, shipping fees, and customs fees will not be refunded. The buyer will be responsible for all costs incurred during the return shipment.
