Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the 4 Carat Elongated Cushion Cut Diamond Ring
What is the significance of the 1.25 Length/Width Ratio for this 4.00 Carat diamond?
A 1.25 ratio means the stone is visibly elongated (10.69mm x 8.53mm). This ratio is highly sought after in a cushion cut as it provides an elegant, slimming effect on the wearer's finger and makes the already massive 4-carat stone appear even larger and more striking.
How does the E Color and VVS1 Clarity rating affect the price and appearance?
E Color is in the colorless range, meaning the diamond will show no yellow tint whatsoever. VVS1 clarity is nearly flawless. This combination ensures maximum brilliance and a crystal-clear appearance, which significantly contributes to the premium price point and superior aesthetic of the ring.
What is the maintenance required for the French Pavé Platinum setting?
The 2.00mm French Pavé band is delicate. While Platinum is highly durable, the tiny prongs holding the accent diamonds can loosen over time. We recommend professional cleaning and an inspection by a jeweler every 6 to 12 months to ensure the security of all 16 accent diamonds.
What does IGI certification indicate about the 4-carat lab-grown diamond?
IGI (International Gemological Institute) certification provides an unbiased, third-party assessment of the diamond's 4Cs (Carat, Cut, Color, Clarity). For this lab-grown stone, IGI confirms its identity and guarantees the advertised 4.00 CT weight, E Color, and VVS1 Clarity, assuring the buyer of its quality and value.
