Hi everyone!

I’m quite new to the lab diamond arena and I’m exploring of getting one.

I was hoping you lovely people can help me out find an amazing round cut diamond.

* 3-3.5 carat
* min F color
* min VS1 clarity
* HPHT
* Budget - under 6-K ( not sure how the pricing works with lab diamond) best value would amazing.
* small table preference 57-%
* ideal cut / pricescope

Thank you!!!

Update: still waiting on the asset images!
 
The diamond was sold :( not to me.
 
I’m sorry it was sold..There are lurkers here that snap up suggested diamonds. Before you post a link..put the diamond on hold.

You can see it most clearly in the side view, usually at the edges of the crown where the color is concentrated. Here's the 3.40 with the 3.50 I posted initially.

I love the 3.01 and 3.02, especially the 3.01! The 3.07 looks to have quite a twisted pavilion. I'd want to see an ASET on the 3.38 to double-check a couple spots. Thanks for the catch on the 3.40.

Thank you @Kim N! I really appreciate your time in helping. I’ve learnt so much this past couple of months re lab diamonds! after much deliberation and thinking about it I would like to search for a super ideal cut. I’ve emailed @Jann Paul but no response yet, will also email other vendors. But was wondering if you seen super ideal cuts with Ritani?

The problem I have is I won’t be able to view the diamonds in person as I live in Europe and most vendors are overseas :(

Most of the ones with AGSL reports from Ritani are super ideal cuts in my experience. I bought 3 and they are all comparable to super ideal cuts from other vendors.

If you don’t mind CVD or dropping down to H color check this one out. Pricing has bounced around 6-9k over the past 3 months.

3.05 Carat Round Lab Diamond AGSL 404051742003 | Ritani

JannPaul takes about a week between emails and pricing is going to be double your budget for 3+ carats.
 
I agree with 0-0-0. The AGSL diamonds on Ritani, as well as GCAL 8x on Adiamor and Frank Darling, are super ideal or near super ideal cuts. Most of the AGSL stones I've seen are CVD, but they appear to be very high quality CVD. Adiamor is currently running a Valentine's Day sale. Even with the sale, a 3.18 F VS1 CVD GCAL 8x, for example, will be at least $6800. A 3.43 D VS1 HPHT GCAL 8x is $7965.
 
Thank you @0-0-0 and @Kim N ! If I want to stick to HPHT, D-F. I should increase my budget! :)
