2.4 ct Round

A diamond's price comes from four things at once. Here is what each of them means for this particular stone.

Carat2.4 ct

One carat and above. Price grows faster than weight: a stone twice as heavy costs more than twice as much, because large rough is rare.

ColourM

A visible warm tint. Some buyers seek it deliberately, especially in yellow gold, where it reads as character rather than as a flaw.

ClarityVVS2

Inclusions are visible only under magnification, never to the naked eye.

CutEX

Excellent cut. The proportions return the most light, and this is the single grade that affects how the stone actually looks.

The crossed-out figure is the Rapaport list reference — the wholesale price guide the trade quotes against. It is a benchmark, not a price this stone was offered at anywhere.
