2 Carat Fancy Intense Yellow Green Radiant Cut Diamond Ring
The center stone is a 1.77-carat Fancy Intense Yellow Radiant cut natural diamond, GIA certified (Rosenberg ref. 700359). Fancy Intense is a designation reached by fewer than one in several thousand natural diamonds submitted for color grading — at this saturation level, the stone occupies a tier where supply is structurally limited and consistent face-up color is present across the entirety of the table.
GIA Fancy Intense: Position on the Color Scale
GIA grades fancy yellow diamonds on a sequential scale from Faint through Fancy Deep, with Fancy Intense positioned one grade below Fancy Vivid. Fancy Intense indicates strong, even color saturation that is immediately apparent face-up, achieved through body color alone rather than concentrated color zoning or dependence on fluorescence. The distinction between Fancy and Fancy Intense is significant in both visual weight and market value — each step on the upper portion of the scale reflects a meaningful reduction in supply.
Why Radiant Cut for Fancy Color Diamonds
The Radiant cut combines a rectangular outline with a modified brilliant-style facet arrangement that maximizes light return while retaining color saturation face-up — properties that step cuts sacrifice for optical clarity and that round brilliants partially dilute through their crown geometry. For a Fancy Intense yellow diamond under two carats, the Radiant’s facet pattern concentrates color in the table view, ensuring the grade reads at its full intensity rather than appearing diluted at the perimeter.
Handmade Ring with Micropavé Construction
The ring is handmade and set in micropavé, a technique in which small diamonds are individually bead-set in closely spaced rows, creating continuous surface coverage without visible metal channels. Micropavé requires precise hand-drilling and consistent bead height — construction standards that distinguish it from machine-set pavé and contribute to long-term prong integrity. The setting is engineered to frame the center stone without generating visual competition, directing focus to the Fancy Intense yellow at its center.
