10 Carat H VS2 Cushion Cut Diamond Ring
The center stone is a 10.12-carat H VS2 Cushion cut natural diamond, GIA certified (Rosenberg ref. 6680). Double-digit-carat white diamonds of this cut grade represent a structurally scarce category — Cushion cuts above ten carats with H color and VS2 clarity account for a small fraction of annual GIA submissions at this weight threshold. The stone is set in handmade platinum within a three-stone configuration.
GIA Color and Clarity Grades: H and VS2
On the GIA D-to-Z white diamond color scale, H falls in the near-colorless range, displaying no perceptible color face-up in standard viewing conditions and only a negligible warmth when viewed from the pavilion. VS2 clarity designates a very-slightly-included stone: inclusions are not visible to the unaided eye and carry no consequence for light performance or structural integrity at this carat weight. The combination of H color and VS2 clarity in a ten-carat-plus stone represents a deliberate balance between optical performance and the rarity premium that concentrates in the higher clarity grades above this size.
Why Cushion Cut at Ten Carats
The Cushion cut’s rounded corners and larger facet planes produce a distinctive broad-flash scintillation pattern that becomes more pronounced as carat weight increases, making it particularly effective in stones above five carats where the facet reflections have sufficient surface area to register individually. Its modified brilliant structure delivers high light return while the softened outline reduces the mechanical stress on prong tips compared to sharp-cornered cuts — a practical consideration in a daily-wear platinum mounting at this scale.
Three-Stone Platinum Setting with Trapezoid Side Stones
A matched pair of step-cut Trapezoid diamonds, 1.07 carats total weight graded F VS1–VS2, flank the center stone on either side. The Trapezoids’ rectilinear geometry and subdued, mirror-like reflections provide a visual frame that isolates the Cushion center without introducing competing brilliance. The mount is handmade platinum, chosen for its 95% purity, resistance to prong wear, and neutral tone that preserves the color rendering of both the near-colorless center and the higher-color side stones.
