1.56 ct Radiant Cut Lab Grown Diamond - IGI Certified
Description
1.56 ct radiant cut, E color, VVS2, IGI certified, measuring 8.12 by 5.58 mm. A 1.46 length to width ratio, long for a radiant.
The extra length shows on the finger as coverage rather than weight, and it pairs cleanly with a second stone if you are building toward a three stone ring or a matched pair of studs.

Setting an elongated radiant
A 1.46 ratio is long enough that the stone does the lengthening on its own, so it does not need a setting that stretches it further. A plain four prong solitaire on a thin band is the honest version. As a three stone center it takes tapered baguettes well, because the straight sides of the radiant meet straight side stones without a gap.
Reading the numbers
Anything above about 1.35 reads rectangular; near 1.05 a radiant reads square. At 1.46 this is clearly the elongated kind, the longest of the three radiants of this size we currently hold. The 68.1% depth and 68% table are both toward the deep, open end, a combination that favors brightness over fine scintillation.
Common questions
Does this stone match the 1.58 ct E VVS2 radiant?
On color and clarity, yes, and the weights are two hundredths of a carat apart. The outlines differ: this one is 1.46, the other is 1.41. For studs that outline difference is what to look at, not the weight.
What ratio makes a radiant cut look elongated?
Above roughly 1.35. Below about 1.15 it starts reading square, which is a different look entirely and closer to a cushion or an Asscher in feel.
Radiant or emerald cut at this size?
A radiant has brilliant faceting under a step-cut outline, so it returns more light and gives inclusions somewhere to hide. An emerald cut shows the inside of the stone. Same silhouette, opposite behavior.
