2.8 ct Cushion
Why this price
A diamond's price comes from four things at once. Here is what each of them means for this particular stone.
- Carat2.8 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.
- ColourFancy Light Yellow
- A fancy colour. The D-to-Z scale does not apply here: such stones are graded and priced by the colour itself.
- ClarityVS2
- Inclusions are visible only under magnification, never to the naked eye.
- Cut—
- The report does not grade the cut — normal for fancy shapes, where proportions are judged individually.
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.

Cut 12% narrower across than usual for this weight — more of the weight sits below the setting.
Both rules are in millimetres, marked every 1 mm with a longer line every 5 mm. Proportions are exact; screens differ in size, so this is not life-size.
Diagram, not a photograph. Diameter, depth and table come from the report; crown and pavilion are drawn to typical proportions for the cut.
The same kind of money, a different trade-off. Each of these argues one thing against the stone you are looking at.
