35 Carat D VVS2 Oval Cut Diamond Ring
The center stone is a 35.15-carat D VVS2 Oval cut natural diamond, GIA certified (Rosenberg ref. 96472). Oval diamonds of this carat weight occupy a near-vanishing segment of the market — thirty-five-carat-plus D-color stones with VVS2 clarity represent fewer than a handful of GIA submissions in any given year. The combination of extreme carat weight, complete colorlessness, and near-flawless clarity in a single stone defines the upper boundary of what the natural diamond market consistently produces.
GIA Color Grade: D and VVS2 Clarity
D is the highest grade on GIA’s D-to-Z color scale, indicating a total absence of detectable color — no yellow, brown, or gray tints present at any magnification or face-up orientation. At 35-plus carats, maintaining D color is structurally uncommon; larger rough diamonds accumulate color-causing nitrogen more readily during formation, making colorlessness increasingly rare as carat weight climbs. VVS2 clarity indicates very, very slightly included: inclusions are not visible to the unaided eye and require significant magnification and expertise to locate, placing no constraint on light transmission or optical performance.
Why Oval Cut for a 35-Carat White Diamond
The Oval brilliant cut distributes a modified brilliant facet pattern across an elongated outline, producing a face-up surface area measurably larger than a round brilliant of equivalent carat weight. At extreme carat weights, this elongation proportionally increases visual presence without concentrating mass in depth — a relevant consideration when mounting in a wearable ring. The Oval’s continuous curved outline also eliminates corner vulnerability, making it a structurally sound choice for a stone subject to daily wear.
Three-Stone Platinum Setting with Bullet Side Stones
A matched pair of Bullet-cut side diamonds, 2.20 carats total weight graded D VS1, flank the center stone in a tapered step-cut format. Bullet shapes provide a directional, low-profile transition between the center Oval and the shank, maintaining visual continuity without generating competing brilliance. The mount is handmade platinum — the standard metal for stones of this scale, chosen for its 95% purity, density, and long-term prong integrity under the mechanical demands of securing a 35-carat center stone.
