1 Carat Fancy Intense Greenish Yellow VS1 Cushion Cut Diamond Ring
The center stone is a 1.18-carat Fancy Intense Greenish Yellow VS1 Cushion cut natural diamond, GIA certified (Rosenberg ref. 6194). Fancy Intense Greenish Yellow is a compound color grade — GIA records the secondary “Greenish” modifier only when a secondary hue contributes measurably to the face-up appearance alongside the primary yellow body color. Diamonds combining a green secondary modifier with Fancy Intense saturation in a Cushion outline are rarely encountered in the GIA submission record, placing this stone in a structurally limited segment of the fancy color market.
GIA Color Grade: Fancy Intense Greenish Yellow
GIA grades natural yellow diamonds on a saturation scale progressing from Faint through Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, and Fancy Vivid. Fancy Intense indicates strong, immediately perceptible saturation achieved through body color, placing this stone in the upper-mid range of the yellow color scale. VS1 clarity denotes inclusions that are minor and invisible to the unaided eye — at 1.18 carats, this clarity grade has no effect on light return or the face-up color display.
Why Cushion Cut for Fancy Color Diamonds
The Cushion cut descends from the old mine cut and combines rounded corners with a modified brilliant facet arrangement that produces broad, dispersed light return rather than the concentrated flashes of a step cut. For a Fancy Intense Greenish Yellow stone, this facet structure distributes both the primary yellow and secondary green color components evenly across the face-up surface, allowing both hues to read simultaneously under varied lighting conditions. Step cuts — emerald or Asscher — pool color in wide, open facets that can suppress the secondary modifier; the Cushion’s pattern preserves the compound color grade as GIA recorded it.
Handmade Platinum Micropavé Setting
The ring is constructed in platinum, with micropavé-set accent diamonds lining the shank. Micropavé involves individually drilled, closely spaced settings that create a continuous surface of brilliance along the band without adding visual bulk. Platinum’s neutral white tone is essential in a fancy color setting — yellow or rose gold would impart warmth to the face-up appearance and compromise the integrity of the GIA color grade as seen in the mount.
