Is this diamond certified?

Yes. An IGI Diamond Certificate is included for stones of 1.00 ct and up, and this one is 1.50 ct. The report lists color, clarity and cut grades for that specific stone.

What does E/F color and VS clarity mean?

E and F are near-colorless grades, and VS means very slightly included, with inclusions hard to see under magnification. Both are strong grades for a lab grown round.

Is CVD better than HPHT?

The seller says CVD is the better growth method and uses only CVD stones. Both methods can produce fine diamonds; what matters most is the cut grade and the certificate on the specific stone.

Can I set it in my own ring?

Yes. It is a loose stone, so any jeweler can set it. Confirm the exact millimeter diameter with the seller before buying a setting, since round 1.50 ct stones vary slightly.

Does a lab grown diamond look different from a mined one?

No. It has the same optical and physical properties as a mined diamond. Only a lab instrument can tell them apart, and the IGI report states the origin.

Our take on the IGI Certified Loose Lab Grown Round Diamond 1.50 ct

A loose 1.50 carat round lab grown diamond graded E/F color and VS clarity with an Excellent or Ideal cut. It is made by CVD rather than HPHT, which the seller presents as the better growth method, and it ships with an IGI certificate at this size. Because it is loose, you choose the setting, so it competes with other certified lab grown stones on cut grade and paperwork rather than on a finished ring. Buyers comparing it to mined diamonds get the same size and color grade for far less, and to other lab grown stones it holds up if the certificate matches the grade.
