3.03 Carat Emerald Lab Grown Diamond, Color G, VS2 Clarity IGI Certified

Three Carats. G Color. VS2. The Emerald Cut's Architectural Elegance. Certified.

The emerald cut is the most sophisticated diamond shape in fine jewelry — its large, open table and step-cut facets create a hall-of-mirrors effect that is entirely distinct from the scattered brilliance of any brilliant cut. At 3.03 carats of G color and VS2 clarity, independently certified by the International Gemological Institute, this stone delivers the emerald cut's signature depth and architectural presence in a near-colorless, eye-clean quality combination at an accessible price point. This is the emerald cut for the buyer who wants the shape's full elegance with strong quality grades and genuine value.

A Transparent Note on VS2 Clarity in an Emerald Cut

The emerald cut's open table and step-cut facets make it the most transparent of all diamond shapes — inclusions can be more apparent in an emerald cut than in a brilliant cut of the same clarity grade. VS2 inclusions are not visible to the naked eye in typical viewing conditions, but we recommend reviewing this stone's IGI certificate carefully and contacting us to discuss the specific nature and position of any inclusions before purchase. G color is a strong choice for this shape — appearing white and brilliant in virtually all conditions. We are fully transparent about every stone we sell and will answer every question honestly.

G Color and VS2: Value Without Compromise on Appearance

G/VS2 is a quality combination that delivers strong visual performance at a price that reflects genuine value. G color appears near-colorless to the naked eye in the emerald cut in virtually all settings and lighting conditions. VS2 clarity is eye-clean in typical viewing conditions, and the IGI certificate provides independent confirmation of the stone's specific inclusion characteristics. For the buyer who wants the emerald cut's extraordinary presence at an accessible price point, G/VS2 is the intelligent choice.

The Emerald Cut: Architecture and Depth

The emerald cut captivates with depth, deliberateness, and a quiet authority that rewards attention. Its long, glassy step-cut facets create a hall-of-mirrors effect — a visual experience that draws the eye downward into the stone rather than outward across its surface. At 3.03 carats, the emerald cut's rectangular silhouette creates a substantial, commanding presence on the finger — a stone of genuine sophistication that is immediately recognizable as something of quality and intention.

The Paula Connection

The emerald cut is the same diamond shape featured in The Paula — our named original engagement ring set in a sleek full bezel that honors the emerald cut's clean, architectural lines. If you love the character of The Paula and are considering a custom ring around a stone of your own choosing, this 3.03 carat G/VS2 emerald cut offers the same sophisticated shape at an accessible price point. Contact us to discuss custom setting options inspired by The Paula or any other design.

IGI Certified: Complete Confidence

This diamond is certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI), providing independent, third-party verification of the G color, VS2 clarity, emerald cut, and 3.03 carat weight. The certificate travels with the stone and provides permanent documentation of its specifications.

Setting Recommendations

A 3.03 carat G/VS2 emerald cut is most beautifully showcased in settings that honor its clean, architectural lines — a sleek full bezel as seen in The Paula, a simple four-prong solitaire, or a three-stone setting with tapered baguette or half-moon side stones. G color pairs beautifully with all metal tones. Contact us to discuss custom setting options.

• A buyer who wants the emerald cut's architectural sophistication with strong G/VS2 quality at an accessible price
• A custom engagement ring center stone with the shape's full elegance and genuine value
• Anyone inspired by The Paula who wants to build a custom ring around their own emerald cut
