5 Carat Fancy Intense Greenish Yellow SI1 Cushion Cut Diamond Ring
The center stone is a 5.02-carat Fancy Intense Greenish Yellow SI1 Cushion cut natural diamond, GIA certified (Rosenberg ref. 700664). Fancy color Cushion cuts carrying a measurable green secondary modifier at five carats are rarely encountered — the combination of Fancy Intense saturation and a recordable Greenish Yellow modifier places this stone in a narrow category where supply does not follow predictable patterns regardless of market conditions.
GIA Color Grade: Fancy Intense Greenish Yellow
GIA grades natural yellow diamonds on a scale from Faint through Fancy Vivid, with secondary hue modifiers added when a subordinate color is strong enough to influence the face-up appearance. Fancy Intense Greenish Yellow indicates saturation above Fancy Yellow, with a green secondary hue that GIA considers significant enough to record as part of the formal grade — not a trace, but a consistent, visible modifier. SI1 clarity places the diamond in the slightly-included range: inclusions are detectable under 10× magnification but remain invisible to the unaided eye and have no effect on light performance at this weight.
Why Cushion Cut for Fancy Color Stones
The Cushion cut’s softened-corner outline and modified brilliant facet structure are well-suited to fancy color diamonds. Its deeper pavilion and rounded facets retain more of the rough crystal than round brilliant cuts, which is why cutters frequently choose the Cushion format for large fancy color material. For a Greenish Yellow stone, the Cushion’s facet arrangement distributes color evenly across the face-up plane, maintaining saturation uniformity and allowing the green secondary hue to read consistently rather than concentrating in isolated zones.
18-Karat Rose Gold Handmade Setting
The diamond is mounted in a handmade 18-karat rose gold setting. Rose gold — an alloy of gold and copper — carries a warm reddish tone that provides chromatic contrast against the yellow-green body color of the diamond, allowing the green modifier to read more distinctly face-up than it would against yellow or white metal. Handmade construction permits prong placement calibrated precisely to the curvature of this specific Cushion outline, securing the stone at its girdle without obstructing the crown facets or compressing the visual spread of the diamond.
