3.02 ct Oval/Polygon Step Cut Fancy Intense Pink Lab Grown Diamond (Clarity VS1, IGI Certified)

Fancy Intense Pink. Three Carats. Certified. There Is Nothing Else Like This.

Fancy Intense is not simply a color grade — it is a declaration. On the GIA pink diamond color scale, Fancy Intense sits two grades above Fancy, representing a depth and saturation of pink color that is immediately visible, unmistakable, and breathtaking. In nature, a Fancy Intense pink diamond of this size would be among the rarest and most valuable gemstones on earth. In lab-grown, it is within reach — and in an oval/polygon step cut at 3.02 carats of VS1 clarity, independently certified by the International Gemological Institute, it is one of the most extraordinary loose diamonds we have ever offered. This is not a stone for the timid. This is a stone for the collector.

The Specifications

• Carat Weight: 3.02 Carats
• Shape: Oval/Polygon Step Cut — An oval outline with step-cut faceting; the step-cut facets create long, glassy flashes of color rather than the scattered brilliance of a brilliant cut, allowing the Fancy Intense pink color to saturate and deepen in a way that is uniquely beautiful
• Color: Fancy Intense Pink — Two grades above Fancy on the GIA pink color saturation scale; a vivid, deeply saturated pink that is immediately visible and unmistakable — the color grade that defines truly spectacular pink diamonds
• Clarity: VS1 — Very Slightly Included, first degree; inclusions invisible to the naked eye and extremely difficult to detect even under 10x magnification — exceptional transparency that allows the color to perform at its absolute best
• Certification: IGI Certified — Independent verification of the stone's Fancy Intense pink color grade, VS1 clarity, oval/polygon step cut, and 3.02 carat weight — complete confidence in this stone's extraordinary specifications
• Origin: Lab-Grown — Physically, chemically, and optically identical to a natural Fancy Intense pink diamond; conflict-free and ethically sourced

Understanding Fancy Intense: The Pink Color Scale

The GIA grades fancy color diamonds on a saturation scale from Faint through Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, Fancy Vivid, and Fancy Deep. Fancy Intense represents the point on that scale where the color becomes genuinely spectacular — deeply saturated, immediately visible, and impossible to mistake for anything less. In natural pink diamonds, Fancy Intense stones command extraordinary premiums and appear almost exclusively at major auction houses. In lab-grown, the same color grade, the same IGI certification, and the same breathtaking appearance are available at a price that makes owning a Fancy Intense pink diamond a genuine possibility.

The Oval/Polygon Step Cut: Color in Its Purest Form

The choice of a step cut for a fancy color diamond is a deliberate and sophisticated one. Where brilliant cuts scatter light in every direction — creating sparkle that can dilute the appearance of color — step-cut facets create long, deliberate flashes of light that allow the color to saturate and deepen within the stone. In a Fancy Intense pink, the oval/polygon step cut's glassy facets become windows into a world of pure, concentrated pink — the color pools in the stone's depths and flashes across its surface in a display that is unlike anything a brilliant cut can produce. This is the setting that lets the color speak for itself.

IGI Certified: The Color Grade That Matters Most

For a fancy color diamond, certification is not optional — it is essential. The IGI certificate for this stone independently verifies the Fancy Intense pink color grade, providing the third-party confirmation that this stone's color is exactly what it claims to be. The certificate travels with the stone and provides permanent documentation of its extraordinary specifications. For a diamond of this rarity and beauty, the IGI certificate is the document that makes the purchase possible with complete confidence.

Setting Recommendations

A 3.02 carat Fancy Intense pink oval/polygon step cut is a stone that deserves a setting of equal intention. A sleek full bezel in rose gold or yellow gold creates a seamless frame that deepens the pink color beautifully. A simple four-prong solitaire in rose gold allows the color to dominate. A three-stone setting with white diamond side stones creates a stunning color contrast that makes the pink center appear even more vivid. Rose gold is the definitive metal pairing for a Fancy Intense pink — the warm blush of the metal and the vivid pink of the diamond create a harmony that is nothing short of extraordinary.
