20 Carat Fancy Intense Yellow VS2 Pear Shape Diamond Ring
The center stone is a 20-carat Fancy Intense Yellow VS2 Pear Shape natural diamond, GIA certified (Rosenberg ref. 96267). Twenty-carat fancy color diamonds of this grade are rarely encountered in the market — at this weight threshold, Fancy Intense Yellow Pear shapes represent an extraordinarily small fraction of annual GIA submissions, and supply is structurally limited regardless of demand cycles.
GIA Color Grade: Fancy Intense Yellow
GIA grades natural yellow diamonds on a scale progressing from Faint through Fancy Vivid. Fancy Intense Yellow sits two steps below Fancy Vivid and denotes a strong, highly saturated yellow body color that is consistent across the stone’s face-up presentation without reliance on fluorescence or favorable lighting conditions. VS2 clarity places the diamond in the very-slightly-included range — inclusions are invisible to the unaided eye and carry no measurable impact on light performance at this scale.
Why Pear Shape for a Fancy Intense Yellow at This Weight
The Pear Shape combines a modified brilliant facet structure with an elongated outline that maximizes perceived color saturation — a critical consideration in fancy color grading, where face-up color is the primary value driver. The tapered point concentrates light return at the stone’s apex, amplifying the intensity of yellow body color across the full face-up surface. At 20 carats, the Pear’s extended length-to-width ratio also enhances visual presence on the hand relative to round or cushion outlines of equivalent carat weight.
Setting and Metal Construction
The diamond is mounted in a handcrafted platinum setting, the standard metal for stones of this caliber due to its 95% purity, high density, and long-term resistance to prong wear. The prong configuration is engineered to expose maximum crown surface, preserving unobstructed light entry while securing the Pear’s pointed culet — the most structurally vulnerable area of this shape — against impact.
