3ct+ Round LGD, GIA/GCAL cert, HPHT

[Mrs_Shepard]

Hey there,
New to learning about LGD, and new to the site.
I am looking for a 3+ct, Round, that is HPHT, above H, SVV1 or 2. I’ve now spent over a month searching every site imaginable, scrolling and clicking and reading all the reports, and feel as though I’m going cross eyed. I just want the search to be over so I can enjoy my big sparkly upgrade.
My budget is around 5-7k, no more than 8k with the setting.
Please help!
So much thanks in advance!

Hello and welcome! @DejaWiz and @Kim N are great at this, and can probably easily find what you are looking for at a better price point than me, but here's a start! Congratulations on the upcoming upgrade.

These are HPHT with IGI reports. The first one is the one that I would get if it were for me.

I really like the 3.49.

 

[Mrs_Shepard]

Thank you everyone! I will take a look at these this afternoon/evening. I so appreciate your promptness and willingness to help me!

 

[Mrs_Shepard]

I really like the 3.49.

Would you choose the 3.49 over the 3.28 that you provided?

I really like the 3.49.

It looks gorgeous!

 

[Kim N]

Would you choose the 3.49 over the 3.28 that you provided?

I would choose the 3.28, as I prefer E VS1 to F VVS2, and the 3.28 costs significantly less for only 0.2mm smaller.

Okay! Also, is there a difference or a benefit to having a diamond certified by GIA or GCAL rather than IGI?

 

[Mrs_Shepard]

I know I'm being super detailed and kind of picky, but my current earth diamond is a 1.3 H color, and I kind of like the warmth of it, especially on my yellow gold band. Do you think an E will feel "cold"?

IGI may be slightly softer in color and clarity, but not always. Inked had an IGI G VS2 recut, and it was re-graded as an F VS1 by GIA.

It's possible that the F would suit you better, but I also don't think there will be a huge difference between an IGI E and a GIA F.
