On an uncertified stone, some claims you can check for yourself and some you cannot. It is worth being clear about which is which. Colour intensity you cannot check — grading it properly needs master comparison stones and controlled lighting, which is exactly why laboratories exist and why we do not put an intensity grade on this listing. Clarity is different. At this size, with close photography and video, most of what a loupe would show you is visible on your own screen. Our assessment is that it sits in the VVS range. Watch the video and form your own view — on this one you are genuinely able to.
What we test and will stand behind: this diamond is natural and earth-mined — not laboratory-grown by CVD or HPHT, not a simulant — and it is untreated: not irradiated, not HPHT processed, not coated. The warm golden yellow-orange is the stone\'s own colour, which cannot be said of most strongly coloured diamonds at this size and price.
One thing to know before you buy: this is a deeply cut stone. At 3.8 × 3.1 × 2.3 mm the depth runs around three quarters of the width, which puts weight below the girdle where nobody sees it. Expect it to look smaller on the hand than 0.23 carat cut for spread would. That depth is also part of why the colour holds as strongly as it does.
Colour intensity needs master stones and controlled light. Clarity, at this size, you can largely judge for yourself — so watch the video.

Read This Before You Buy
This diamond is not certified. No laboratory report accompanies it, and the price reflects that. A comparable stone with a laboratory report behind it sits in a different bracket entirely. We would rather say plainly why this one carries no paper than leave you to wonder.
The colour and clarity stated here are our own assessment, not laboratory grades. Fancy, Fancy Intense, Fancy Deep and Fancy Vivid are intensity grades only a laboratory can assign, and no laboratory has graded this stone — so we have not used any of them. What we can tell you is what we see and what our testing shows: a natural diamond with a warm golden yellow-orange body colour and clarity that on our own examination sits in the VVS range. If you want either grade in writing, take the certification option below before you buy.
Untreated and not enhanced. Tested as natural and earth-mined — not CVD-grown, not HPHT-grown, not a simulant. It has not been irradiated, HPHT processed or coated to produce or improve the colour. This is the claim we will stand behind in writing.
Certification is available. If you would like this stone submitted to a laboratory before purchase, message us and we will quote the fee and turnaround. Buyers who want the grade in writing should take this option rather than assume it.
Every photograph and the video show the actual stone under natural light without colour correction. Coloured diamonds photograph differently under every light source, and a stone this size shows its colour best against skin or a white metal setting.
