10ct Fancy Deep Brownish Yellow VS2 Oval Shape Natural Diamond, GIA Certified Ring
The center stone is a 10.04-carat Fancy Deep Brownish Yellow VS2 natural diamond, certified by the Gemological Institute of America, referenced in Rosenberg’s inventory as ref. 93670. At the VS2 clarity grade, inclusions are minor and not visible to the naked eye. Oval diamonds exceeding 10 carats in a Fancy Deep color grade represent a statistically rare intersection: fewer than 1% of all GIA-graded fancy color diamonds achieve the Fancy Deep designation, and those exceeding 10 carats constitute a fraction of that subset.
GIA Fancy Deep — The Highest Saturation Grade
GIA’s fancy color grading scale progresses through Faint, Very Light, Light, Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, Fancy Vivid, Fancy Deep, and Fancy Dark. Fancy Deep designates stones with the highest depth of hue combined with a darker tone, distinct from Fancy Vivid, which prioritizes brightness. For brownish yellow diamonds, the Fancy Deep grade indicates that the yellow hue is fully saturated with a secondary brown modifier that deepens tone without masking the primary color. This grade sits at the extreme end of the saturation spectrum on GIA’s official scale.
Why Oval Cut for Large Fancy Color Diamonds
The oval brilliant cut distributes its 57 to 58 facets across an elongated outline, concentrating color saturation toward the center while maintaining strong light return through its modified brilliant facet arrangement. In fancy color diamonds, deeper cuts are preferred because they retain more body color rather than dispersing it as white light. The oval’s length-to-width ratio — typically between 1.30 and 1.50 — also creates a visually larger appearance per carat compared to round or cushion cuts of equivalent weight.
Platinum Micropavé Setting
The ring is handcrafted in platinum, an alloy composed of approximately 95% pure platinum by weight, which provides greater density and resistance to wear than 18-karat gold at 75% purity. Platinum’s naturally white metal tone does not impart any color cast to the diamond, allowing the Fancy Deep Brownish Yellow hue to be evaluated without chromatic interference. The 1.50 cttw micropavé frame surrounding the center stone adds perimeter brilliance through closely set small diamonds, which contrast against and optically reinforce the depth of the center stone’s body color.
