2 Carat Fancy Intense Bluish Green SI1 Cushion Cut Diamond Ring
The center stone is a 1.85-carat Fancy Intense Bluish Green SI1 Cushion cut natural diamond, GIA certified (Rosenberg ref. 96638). Natural green diamonds are among the rarest stones submitted to GIA in any given year — the color originates almost exclusively from prolonged exposure to natural radiation during formation, a process that produces far fewer qualifying specimens than yellow or pink formations. A Bluish Green modifier at Fancy Intense saturation places this stone in a category rarely encountered even within dedicated fancy color inventories.
GIA Color Grade: Fancy Intense Bluish Green
GIA grades natural green diamonds on a scale from Faint through Fancy Deep, with Fancy Intense indicating strong, consistent saturation visible face-up under standard daylight-equivalent conditions. The Bluish Green designation identifies green as the dominant hue with a secondary blue modifier — a combination that shifts the face-up appearance toward a cooler, more complex green and adds optical depth beyond single-hue stones. SI1 clarity places the diamond in the slightly-included range: inclusions are present but not detectable by the unaided eye and carry no effect on light performance at this carat weight.
Why Cushion Cut for Fancy Color Stones
Cushion cut diamonds combine a rounded-corner outline with a mixed brilliant facet pattern developed to maximize color retention across the full face-up surface. Unlike step cuts, which concentrate color in the table and release it in broad, intermittent flashes, the Cushion’s facet structure distributes saturation evenly at all viewing angles — the standard by which GIA evaluates fancy color intensity grades. The deeper pavilion characteristic of well-proportioned Cushions further enhances perceived hue depth without sacrificing the brilliance that distinguishes this cut from its competitors.
Platinum Micropavé Ring Construction
The ring is handmade in platinum, with a micropavé band set with small round brilliant diamonds calibrated in matched rows along the shank. Micropavé requires individual hand-placement of each stone under magnification, secured by minimal metal beads to maximize light exposure across the surface. Platinum is the standard metal for fancy color diamond rings due to its 95% purity, resistance to prong deformation over decades of wear, and neutral white tone — which avoids introducing any warm cast that could compromise the perceived saturation of a green center stone.
