1.05 Carat Cushion Cut Diamond, CRY-J, VS-2, GIA Certified

This is a natural cushion cut diamond of 1.05 carat, colour Crystal J, clarity VS-2, with a GIA certificate. It comes from Royal Coster Diamonds in Amsterdam, the oldest still operating diamond polishing house in the world, founded in 1840.

The cut. The cushion cut is square to slightly rectangular with rounded corners, like a cushion seen from above. It is one of the oldest diamond shapes. Its larger facets return the light in broad flashes rather than fine sparkle.

Colour. Crystal J is near colourless, at the lower end of that range. The stone has a slight warmth that can be visible in a white setting. In yellow or rose gold that warmth blends in with the metal.

Clarity. VS-2 stands for Very Slightly Included. The inclusions are small enough that they can only be found under 10x magnification. To the naked eye the stone is clean.

Certificate. The diamond was graded by GIA, an independent laboratory. The certificate confirms that the diamond is natural and records its weight, colour, clarity and cut.

Setting. We can set this diamond in a ring, earrings or a pendant in 18K white, yellow or rose gold. Our diamond specialists advise you in our boutique in Amsterdam or online.

Please note. The image shows a rendering of this diamond shape, not a photograph of the stone itself, so colour, clarity and proportions of the actual diamond may differ from what you see here. The specifications and the certificate are leading: they describe this exact stone. Our diamond specialists will gladly send you photos or a video of the diamond, or show it to you in our boutique in Amsterdam.
