11 Carat D VS2 Radiant Cut Diamond Ring
The center stone is an 11.00-carat D VS2 Radiant cut natural diamond, GIA certified (Rosenberg ref. 96699). Eleven-carat D-color Radiant cuts represent a rare convergence of size and colorless grade — at this weight, the pairing of D color with VS2 clarity places the stone among the most scarcely encountered white diamonds in active circulation. Stones of this profile appear infrequently in the primary market and rarely transfer through secondary channels without extended holding periods.
GIA Color Grade: D (Colorless)
GIA grades white diamonds on a color scale running from D through Z, where D designates the highest possible colorless classification — entirely free of detectable body color under standardized grading conditions. Achieving D color becomes structurally more difficult as crystal mass increases, making D-grade stones above ten carats a genuine rarity within annual GIA submissions. VS2 clarity places the diamond in the very-slightly-included range: inclusions remain invisible to the unaided eye and have no measurable effect on light performance or face-up appearance at this scale.
Why Radiant Cut for an 11-Carat Colorless Stone
The Radiant cut applies a modified brilliant facet pattern to a rectangular outline, a structure developed to maximize light return while retaining more rough weight than a round brilliant of equivalent face-up size. For a D-color diamond, this facet arrangement delivers full brilliance and dispersion across the table, allowing the stone’s colorlessness to read with full intensity face-up. The cropped corners of the Radiant geometry also eliminate the structural vulnerability associated with pointed terminations — a relevant consideration at eleven carats, where prong stress concentrates more acutely.
Three-Stone Platinum Setting
The center stone is mounted in a handmade platinum three-stone ring with two side diamonds flanking the Radiant. Platinum is the standard metal for settings of this caliber: its 95% purity, high density, and resistance to prong wear over decades of use make it technically superior to white gold for securing stones of significant weight. The three-stone configuration frames the center diamond without generating competing brilliance, keeping visual emphasis on the colorless Radiant and its face-up surface area.
