Available here is an investment-grade, exceptionally rare 1.02-carat natural earth-mined diamond featuring a highly stylized Modified Shield Step Cut. This elite geometric stone is perfect for high-end custom jewelry builds, structural engagement designs, or independent bench jewelers looking for premium, hard-to-source material.This diamond stands out due to its elite GIA finish grading, boasting Excellent Polish and Excellent Symmetry. Achieving a "Double Excellent" rating on a specialized fancy step-cut is incredibly rare. The crisp architectural symmetry ensures maximum light reflection, accentuating the hypnotic "hall of mirrors" faceting.Because step-cuts feature open, transparent tables, inclusions have nowhere to hide. This stone is graded a pristine VVS1 clarity, making it entirely flawless to the naked eye and under standard magnification. The microscopic clarity characteristics consist of a minor pinpoint, feather, and natural—all completely invisible without an advanced lab microscope.The diamond sits at a J color grade (top of the near-colorless tier). Notably, the Faint Fluorescence registered on the GIA report works to the buyer’s distinct advantage; when exposed to the UV wavelengths in natural daylight, it subtly counteracts the warm near-colorless undertones, causing the diamond to face up visually brighter and whiter than its technical color profile. With a shallow 58% depth, this stone maximizes its footprint, presenting excellent face-up spread for its carat weight. This item ships loose in its secure protective gem case with all corresponding GIA identification specifications. Double-check your listing invoice details upon receipt to confirm physical label matches.
The GIA report number is inscribed on the girdle of the diamond.
